Or, as the saying goes, you can't see the forest for the trees?

The billions of varying components that make up the universe, down to the design of the atom and even it's sub-atomic parts? And then we're to look at these billions of varying components, all of them super complex and consistantly abiding by predictable laws, and imagine that they all came about from a series of billions of booboos and oopsies, beginning from some magical particle that appeared out of nowhere at the beginning of time, which itself begs for an explanation?!
