Design not divine? (Origins)

If you have enough faith to believe in a self-generated universal intelligence able to create macrocosms and microcosms, you can also have enough faith to believe in a self-generated set of conditions and a self-generated cellular intelligence. Alternatively, you can join me on the fence of the faithless.-I can only apply faith in one direction. How does anything self-generate? From nothing? I firmly believe in causation. One action causes another. The lights come on becuae I flipped the switch, but prior to that a plant generated the electricity. Prior to that an electrician wired my house. and so on. There HAS TO BE a first cause which put all that intelligent information into the cells that adapt to whatever. I don't like your picket fence.
