Case for Creation

I've been reading this book called 'Case for Creation' by Lee Strobel that I borrowed from Gerald and it's pretty interesting. I've heard some objections to Darwinism in the past but never thought about it seriously. The case that the book tries to argue is that there are many things in this universe that are too complex for chance or natural selection to bring about. If these two popular explanations failed, shouldn't we take a look at the theory of intelligent design then?

I see the points that the book put forward but I do have one question. Is the complication really necessary? What I mean by that is that since God is all powerful and stuff, couldn't he made things a bit simpler but still result in us living in this world? Granted it might be a different form of sentient being, we might not look like this but still, a sentient being. That's my question, can't it be simpler? Or this complication is the simplest that God could do to realise a world with sentient life forms?

Just another comment for one of the interviewee in the book that said that earth is the best observation point to view the universe. How the hell do you know that? If earth is situated somewhere else, couldn't that be a better vantage point?
