The stars, the planets, how they're too perfectly placed.

Not a valid argument. If "perfectly placed" to you means "placed so far apart that humans cannot even manage to set foot in all but one", too far out of the sun's habitable zone, such that they are too scorching (Mercury/Venus) or too freezing (Mars-Neptune) to harbor life, then we'll have to agree to disagree. Not to mention the whole "not being able to breathe/our eyeballs freezing instantaneously in outer space" thing.
If you mean "perfectly placed" simply in terms of how they appear to our eyes from earth, that's another point that simply can't be proven or refuted. Of course it looks "perfect" to you, that's the only way we know. And if the planets were one grey misshapen rock between us and the sun it would still look "perfect", because we would be able to fathom no other way. Same if the sun's light was green as opposed to orange/yellowish.

Realizing that there are planets thrice as big as this huge one we're in. Realizing that there could be another milkyway. Stuff like this are just TOO amazing for a human, or anyone, to create really.

No one claims humans created them though

I mean, in the Qura'an, it mentions these planets and all that. Back in the days they didn't even have a telescope.

I'd advise you to do a biT of research before you make statements like this, it would make your arguments look a lot stronger.
I'll just start with Mercury,
wikipedia has it's earliest known mention at
1400 BC (most of the planets were similarly discovered several centuries BC), and it's modern Roman naming at 200 BC (again, as with the majority of the planets). IIRC the Qur'an was written somewhere around 500 AD, by then pretty much all of the planets (plus Pluto) were discovered and widely referred to by their modern Roman names.

There's a lot of evidence God exists. You simply choose to ignore them.

Feel free to provide it, assuming the rest of your post wasn't intended to be the "evidence". A word of advice though, presenting "God of the gaps" logical fallacies (ie: I don't know how this got here, must mean GAWD did it!!1) does not qualify as actual evidence.
especially with that first sentence. The majority of the world is religious so you're saying that the growing non-religious population is gullible? If anyone is gullible its the religious population because many people are brought up in religious families and they just take it as it is. Interesting argument about space though but this doesn't equate to the existence of a god. We'll never prove the existence of one, so lets just leave it at that.

This is the type of responses I dislike the most from atheist people. Just let people believe in what they believe and respect that. No reason to try and flamebait people like that because you think otherwise
