I agree with you on one point 100%. You will never get the opportunity to say “I told you so.” But plan on the opportunity to say “I thought I was right.”

how can i say "i thought i was right" when there is no afterlife?

Did cars evolve all on their own? I guess the cave men did not know how to drive? Maybe they had to wait for a cave man named Yale to invent a key. We use the word invented. Which I would take as created by man. But not without a lot of thought. a lot of trial and error.
not sure if you have realized but cars are not living things, cars do not reproduce, cars are man made so of coarse they can not evolve on thier own, evolution is about natural selection of living organisms
QUOTE
And it is not only the life of creatures, But the systems here on earth that keep it habitable for life. We have not used up all the oxygen (we have messed it up a bit) Nitrogen cycles, Even the water cycle to keep life going.
again all of these things can be explained with simple laws of physics and thermodynamics, you are also assuming that life can only exist with these systems which is not so, everyday we find new forms of life on our very own planet that we thought would never be possible due to thier enviroment...life will always find a way...on its own nevertheless

Someone went to an awful lot of preparation to see we would survive. Without those coal and oil deposits we would have used up all the resources quite quickly.
you must have meant to say "without those coal and oil deposits we would have found a different way to supply fuel for heat and transportation" with the up and comming new technology of hydrogen powered cars, electric cars, and solar power cars it makes you wonder what cars would actually be like today if oil never existed on this planet, we would be a step up in that arena of technology, but because the oil and coal are there why not take advantage of it? it makes little sense to build a tv from scratch just to watch the 5 o'clock news when you got a tv allready sitting in your living room, so why make hydrogen powered cars when you allready have the oil sitting in the middle of the earth? a good example of us not really needing oil is that the first car was steam powerd, and we used to burn whale blubber for candle oil, we no longer do that today because of the discovery of oil and coal, but like i said if we never discovered the oil/coal things would still be getting done

two thirds of our surface being water provided for a lot of food supply.
oh really? how much of the ocean has actually been explored? the ocean is home to many life forms yes....but not for food supply, out of all of the oceans life, how much do we actually eat?
the reason the ocean has so much life is for 2 reasons:
1) the obviouse, it takes up 2/3 of earth like you said
2) life develops and evolves easier in water
QUOTE
Millions of systems, Both of life forms and natural systems which support life. Quite a design. Quite a Designer.
Quite a design, yes
Designer, no. again like ive been saying all of these systems can be explained through natural means
QUOTE
Maybe the vastness of the Universe is to show How big our Designer is, How small we are, and How much care He has taken to insure our existence.
or better yet, maybe the vastness of the universe is because the universe its self is evolving, is growing, and is housing more life than just what is here on this small blue planet. Does living in a mansion prove to you that your parents have more care of your saftey than if you lived in an apartment? and what does alpha centari(our nearest star besides the sun) have to do with our existance? if god does exist and created the entire universe to insure our existence, than all of those things out there must have a meaning to us and be there for a reason, what is the reason? to me it looks like a whole lot of wasted space....not such a great design afterall

(ISAIAH 45:18) For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens;
God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established
it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am
the Lord; and there is none else. (KJV)
NONE is a name for Jesus, None declareth, None showeth, When I called, None did answer. There is None beside Me. None can by any means redeem His brother.
ELSE is Christ’s Surname. So there is NONE ELSE beside God.
(ISAIAH 45:4) For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect,
I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though
thou hast not known me. (KJV)
(ISAIAH 45:5) I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no
God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: (KJV)
(ISAIAH 45:6) That they may know from the rising of the sun, and
from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and
there is none else. (KJV)
God had to hide His Face from Jesus to fulfill the Scriptures. Jesus did not know the Devil is God’s Holy Name.
The Bible is more of a Three Story book, as God doubles twice to establish His words as Truth, Words spoken of over 1500 years by over 40 prophets, all about one day that would come about 400 years after God stopped the messages to Israel with Malachi being the last.
The Jewish nation bears witness to the books which make up the Old Testament. That they are intact, existed 400 years before what we see as Christ laid in a manger in Bethlehem. And that those Old Testament Scriptures (Jewish Holy Scripture) was not changed to fit Jesus.
It is the Old Testament which proves there is a God by His ability to set this up. Foretell the Future in minute detail. Fulfill all those prophecies in one day. And it shows Jesus is who He sent to fulfill them.
Pretty good for an OLD STORY BOOK.
Once upon a time, Far away and long ago.

i can post an x-men comic exert and it would be as relevant as what you have just posted, words in a book dont mean anything, i dont understand how one can believe in a book just because they were brought up to do so, or were told it was true?
I have had spats with my spouse, I don't always keep house tidy and I don't kiss everyones butt. I've learned to stick up more for myself than I used to and it feels good.
