Wow, super nice.
Also nerdy, but the sunset screen there reminds me of Final Destination in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. :3

Yeah, all the complex design in the natural world just magically designed and created itself. I agree.

I think magic isn't the word. God to me often sounds like a lazy man's approach to answering questions he can't. Obviously, people tend to ignore very basic problems like "Where did God come from?" and "If good is omnipotent, doesn't all the suffering in the world make him an asshole (or at the very least, uncaring)?"

Where did the big bang come from? All that energy? Something had to create it. If you believe it was just always there, thus not being restricted by the laws of science, then you believe in a god like I do, and you call it Big Bang. If something can be so powerful as to not be restricted by the laws of time and space, then it truly is all powerful. That's where a god comes in. Call it God, call it Big Bang, call it Sarah. Either way, it's the only possibility: a higher power.
All the suffering in the world is a result of our actions. You suffer a break-up because your girl/boyfriend chose to break up with you. You get cancer because of your lifestyle. When you make a mistake, you suffer the consequences, and then you learn from them. Is it loving for a god to let us do whatever we want and never be able to learn from the mistakes? Nope. He let's us do what we want and allows us to learn from it. He doesn't force us to love him, because then that's not truly loving him. If you're forcing a girl to love you, does she really love you? Nope.
Hope that answers your 2 questions.

Oh, I do believe there's a higher power. You could see it as nature. In the end, we're still restricted by the various limitations that exist in nature. Thus, it is a higher power. We don't have an answer for things like the Big Bang, maybe we never will - but that doesn't automatically prove God. God itself still has its own creation problem; where did God come from?
Well, not all suffering is your own fault. You can get cancer entirely at random due to neutrino's passing through your body, which are emitted by the sun. You can be born with an HIV infection. You can be born with a severe genetic defect. You can be struck by a natural disaster beyond your control. Tell me how any of these are learning experiences?

Any higher power must have always existed. If a higher power is restricted by the laws of time, then it isn't too impressive a higher power. Even the Bible understands this: the Bible says God is outside of time. It's unfathomable to humans what that can be like, but that's because we're mere humans. We're not gods. Why would a god NEED a beginning? That would mean he's restricted by a law of some kind (in this case, the law of time), and therefore not a god. God is outside of time.
Neutrinos passing through your body which are emitted from the sun? Who chose to spend so much time in the sun? No, it wasn't a SINFUL decision to spend your time in the sun, but it was still your decision. Crushed by a tidal wave? Who chose to live on a tiny island? It wasn't a SIN to live on the island, of course, but it was still your choice. Also, I think it's somewhere in the Bible that Satan still has 1/3 of his power. In a perfect world, there would be no natural disasters, of course. But it's not a perfect world, thanks to us. God doesn't interfere. He let's us live if that's what our body wants to do, he let's us die if that's what our body wants to do. The body is just a body. The soul is what matters. (And yes, there is proof of a soul, which is itself proof of a higher power.)
Thanks for not being a prick in your responses, it's a nice change.

Stating "God is outside" of time is quite easy, it's just rather impossible to prove, or to even imagine what you mean by that statement. I don't consider the bible evidence for anything. It's a book compiled by humans in the end. Humans decided what stories to keep and what stories not to include. If I hear about someone having had a conversation with a burning shrub, I'd consider him either mentally ill or intoxicated, or both. I don't see why it would be believable if it says so in an ancient book. Also, how can you be sure the bible is correct, and the Torah / Koran isn't? Maybe you die and it turns out the Muslims were right all along.
Neutrino's affect you regardless of you spending time in the sun. As I type this they pass through my body, even though I'm sitting inside. Even at night they pass through your body, they can pass through the entire planet. The chance of a neutrino reacting with mass is extremely low, and the chance of it causing something like cancer is extremely unlikely, but not impossible. Also, where you live isn't always a choice, many people are bound to where they live just because they don't have the opportunity to move elsewhere. Further, natural disasters are generally speaking easy to explain, so I don't see where the devil comes in. The word soul is hard to define. What really is it? A "spirit" that's separate of our body, and lives on after our body dies? So far, I'm yet to see any evidence for that. Sure, there's near death experiences and out-of-body experiences - but they don't seem to prove the existence of a soul, research seems to suggest NDE's are a by-product of the brain shutting down, and out-of-body experiences can be artificially created by using drugs or electrically stimulating certain portions of the brain. But even if a soul like that exists, one can wonder at what point this soul comes into existence. And do other animals have souls? What about people with severe brain damage?

Yeah, it's great that this beautiful shot was just some randomly generated imagery.

Haha. I was being sarcastic, don't worry. Obviously the photo needed a photographer. Obviously anything that has a working design needed a designer and could not have possibly happened randomly.
