Is it right to compare a house to the Earth?
God made this planet. Though some man may say otherwise, yet he will get nothing by it. Men have spoken against God, most after the printing press, but these men, these mean folk, do not know what is best for them. "Keep their minds empty and their bellies full". A mean man shall get nought for himself but what his heart wills him, but with God he may rise above the heart and know right. The heart without God shall lead to sin and the flesh. Evil shall come from mankind without God, and that is why we must believe.
Life emerged naturally on Earth over many millions of years. Sometimes, it was harmonious, other times not.
There is a certain "rhythm" to Nature which I can't define. Part of the "rhythm" is due to the mechanisms of physics, I believe.
I find life emanating from an atmosphere conducive to it, and going through gradual evolution more plausible than life "created" in complete form by some Creator or other.

Only by people who don't understand entropy. But entropy is difficult for people with high-school level reasoning abilities.

What level does continual snark come in at?
That's not a balanced analogy though, a tornado is a short-term event --- it is remarkable that it would assemble a 747, the earth arose through processes of stellar evolution over billions of years which is far less remarkable, considering we can observe other examples of planets accreting (in various stages) around stars.

It's just something I heard or read once. I'm pretty sure it was meant to be satirical.
There is a kind of memorization called the Method of Loci, in which the mind is compared to a house. A person is supposed to locate ideas, in said house, as a learning aid.
In the Bible, an exorcism is also compared to a house cleaning.
When we speak of Intelligent Design, we are not only speaking of first cause, and matériel, but also of intelligence and design. The book does not occur as a result of the proverbial explosion in a typewriter factory, the pocket watch is not found, ex nihilo, having manufactured itself, one piece at a time. We see Mount Rushmore, but not the real, historical figures, and know that the sculpture was created -- the appearance of a person, but without the mind.
Evolutionists and Creationists must both be in agreement, than an intelligence can be self-existent, out of nothing.

A proof of Poe's Law. I've heard people ask that exact question in complete seriousness.
I'm not sure that I've personally experienced being asked why life doesn't spontaneously appear in jars of peanut butter, but I have a response ready: you might not have noticed eating it.

You'll always be the one of superior knowledge and intellect, when you apply yourself to the lowest common denominator. Especially when you decide that's all the equation consists of.

I'd like to add: maybe humans are just god's way to build 747s.
which leads to the question: what does god need a 747 for?
