Why was Leonardo da Vinci not content to merely draw stick figures?

I see the deep complexities in the fundamental foundations of nature as evidence of an omniscient creator. The very existence of that complexity is a testament to something behind it. In fact, it seems more plausible to suggest that if the universe just happened apart from any creator, that the natural order of things would have assumed a much simpler form that what we now observe. Complex systems don't generally stand up well on their own.

I also find it interesting that as one who apparently doesn't believe in God, you appeal to a fundamental (albeit flawed) interpretation of scripture to refute its validity. The point I made in my previous post was that the Bible is not a science book. Nowhere does "poof" appear in Genesis. Genesis describes creation as occurring in stages, which it calls "days". Never mind that the sun and the moon weren't created until the 4th "day" (Gen 1:14-18). The point to the creation story is not the how or the when, but the Who . As to the "poof" of God's own existence in the Bible, that's another place that you miss the mark, and in a very big way. The Bible never suggests that God "wasn't". God is eternal; He exists outside of nature and has no beginning or end.

Finally, please don't try to project a position of weakness onto me. I never appealed to an argument that "God works in mysterious ways". There are things about God that I don't understand, but why He put such complex intricacy into His creation is not one of them. Scripture states that we are created in God's image. Our love of fine art, beautiful music, advanced technology, and other "complexities" is a reflection of His image, His character. It is that character that led him to create, and to me, Science is the act of working to understand more and more of that creation.
