I read the creationist link. I dont agree with that the complexities had to be created by a creator. i just dont buy that because for who created the creator.I could still buy the man coming out of the complexities of nature but to be created by this supernatural phenemenum is just not on atleast for me my dear friend. 
the last line in the link was this:
"ATP synthase speaks of wisdom, intelligence, capability, or rationality in its creator, some of the exact attributes of God as revealed in the Bible! When we investigate His handiwork, we are both obeying His command in Genesis 1:28 to do the work necessary to "subdue the earth", and we have even more reason to praise and enjoy Him for His providence and genius."-than why does the creator mess up when he creates retarded children or children with disabilities. if they think as they did in the link it had to start somewhere David. i am not saying that natural selection by chance is right but in comparison to what i read on this link I would say for me natural selection by chance makes more sense to me. -for me the idea of a creator actually creating this is highly far fetched. I am not good with expressing myself in technical terms but the creator of this link seems to be the be all and end all of the world who cannot mess up but in my eyes there are too many mess ups that we have made. -I will tell you why I think people in the western world find it so hard to accept that we could just be here by chance or by some chemical reaction because they think God is the center of everything in the abrahamic western faiths. This is where the eastern philophies differ where they were always asking questions even in the vedas which are much older than all the western faiths. heres one of the verses in the first vedas
The Nasadiya Sukta, a creation hymn, says: 
"Who really knows? Who will here proclaim it? Whence was it produced? 
Whence is this creation? The gods came afterwards, with the creation of the universe. 
Who then knows whence it has arisen? Whence this creation has arisen-perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps it did not-the one who looks down on it, in the highest heaven, only He knows-or perhaps He does not know" -
No wonder it is easy for a Indian to accept agnosticism or atheism and still be a Hindu / jain / Buddhist because it was always made a part of it and hence I find we dont need to abolish our religious and cultural identity to accept science whereas science for me in the western world is like directly agaisnt religion and you have to pick one of the two which is so sad.
