The most immediate ignoring going on here is you ignoring the problem of the natural origin of information.

How can i ignore a made up thing that doesn't exist?

We KNOW we (and our universe) had a beginning.

How do we know that? It's possible the Big Bang is wrong. It's also possible that our universe has been expanding, collapsing on itself, then expanding again for eternity.

I'm asserting its reasonable to believe in God and not irrational to do so

It's reasonable and rational to believe. But many of the arguments you make in support of your belief are neither.

Science does tell us our universe looks incredibly designed for life.

This is more irrational stupidity. Since the Big Bang, it was certain the universe would turn out one of many unlikely ways. Just because it turned out this particular unlikely way, so what? You think you're special, and the universe was designed for you? Any way the universe would have turned out would've been unique, unlikely, and special whether any of us were here to see it or not. Your argument is yet another irrational appeal to emotion. You feel like this can't all be for nothing. That's emotion, not reason.

Consider the lottery. Someone will win, but the odds of any one person winning are millions to one. Does that mean the universe was designed for that particular person to win because otherwise it would be too unlikely? Only a fool would argue that.
