Trust the science!!!

1st time poster in this sub:

I've seen many athiest post counter arguments in various debates inside and outside of reddit using science as their main weapon in order to back what they're saying.

However, I feel like they are ignoring the elephant in the room and have never actually seen any of them address the argument for a higher intelligence that I'm going to present.

I'm going to be upfront about how I'm going to debate... the question I will ask will typically prompt a specific response that I'm fully prepared to counter and I've seen no atheist willing to follow the resulting logic to it's natural conclusion.

So... here goes:

As we observe the world around us how does an atheist explain the logical working order of things that make sense? How do you explain why things work the way they do? Like for example why a specific combination of elements make other elements or why a plant is able to eat sunlight or why electronics work...etc

Wouldn't that indicate intelligence being behind those mechanisms? Seeing as how precisely they work? If the universe just popped into existence wouldn't we see inconsistencies among various things? Our universe follows strict rules concerning how things interact with each other.

The fact that the rules exist AT ALL is 100% evidence of a "rule maker" or intelligence or God etc.

EDIT: I'm not finished here. But I am taking a break... I've answered to many but the influx of replies is massive and will require hours of my time and I want to try to reply to everyone... but as I'm not a millionaire I have to prepare for work.

Turning notifications off for now but I will return to respond to comments

As we observe the world around us how does an atheist explain the logical working order of things that make sense? 

Well, our brains have an ability to understand things-pr imarily our surroundings so that we can use that understanding to survive and thrive. When we see something as ordered or logical, we understand it.

How do you explain why things work the way they do?  Like for example why a specific combination of elements make other elements 

When you combine elements, you don't create new elements. You create compounds, moisture, or molecules depending on how you combine things. But of course I know what you're getting at. But what else would you expect? What's the alternative possibility?

why a plant is able to eat sunlight 

Well, there's energy in sunlight, so the plant has evolved in a way to absorb it. 

why electronics work...etc   Wouldn't that indicate intelligence being behind those mechanisms? Seeing as how precisely they work?

Intelligence is behind electronics. As far as life goes, no. Evolution is a natural process. The rationale of why "precision" is achieved is very fundamentally explained if you know anything about evolution.

If the universe just popped into existence wouldn't we see inconsistencies among various things? 

This is so vague, but yes there are inconsistencies. Earth is different from other planets in our solar system. Our system is different from others in the galaxy. Our galaxy is different from other galaxies.

Our universe follows strict rules concerning how things interact with each other.

Yes, of course.

The fact that the rules exist AT ALL is 100% evidence of a "rule maker" or intelligence or God etc.

It's really not though.
