i am open to the concept of god but i am yet to be convinced by it. you're argument just doesn't seem right, assuming that just cause we all have DNA that go must be real

You should take a moment to thing about just how complex the DNA code is. How could something like that come by accident?

If that is not good enough for you then study any part of the human body; the skin, the ear, the eye, your brain. The human eye alone is so amazing in its design! Study it out, then ask yourself, "How does that happen by chance." Furthermore how is it put into our body and all of these complex organs coincidently just happened to perfectly come together? Life points to a designer and Creater; God.

If you think it could have evolved to the state it is in now, then someone please show me in the fossil record the countless millions of "mistakes" that you would have to have to finally produce the human being. And don't point to genetic mutations, because that is not evolving that is devolving. Furthermore someone please explain to me how a genetic mistake (let's say to the point that the mistake was so bad it did not permit the creature to live) somehow "learns from this mistake and produces different offspring? So a toad jumps in the water dies, and somehow communicates to his dead young, that perhaps he never had in the first place, "Oh, crap guys don't just jump in the water, grow gills first." Entirely stupid.

You should goggle and purchase a video series entitled Creatures that Defy Evolution. There are three of them in the series. Simply amazing. I challange anyone that really thinks evolution could work to watch these videos.

 I'm happy that you have found your faith, and I am sure it aids your life in many ways, makes you a happier person, gets through tough times easier, and so on.  But it's one thing to accept faith, yet another to clearly understand the arguments that you think are evidence of God.

 This is exactly the kind of argument I am 100% against.  I am not against God in any way, but I am against these kind of arguments.  It shows utter lack of understanding.  I think some of the things you say also give atheists ammunition to make fun of people who genuinely believe in God, and it's a bad thing.

 Oh well, I've never successfully convinced anybody about this.  I used to go to a Christian fellowship regularly, talk a lot about this, and I have exactly a 0% hitting percentage.  People would just keep saying the same thing no matter what.  For most of my life I was very receptive to get myself to "believe" in God but utimately never made the leap.  After all, the first 12 years of my education are done in either a Christian or a Protestant setting.

 Feel free to keep spreading your faith though--I'm generally happier if more people actually stick to one faith or another.  I do think most people benefit from actually believing in God for whatever reason they like, be it revelation, faith, comfort, etc etc.
