And it is all moved by the smallest of particles.

Mishal and Double are both mistaken. It looks impressive to us, but neither that nor other aspects of the argument from design are any proof of God’s existence, let alone His greatness. And the supposition that it’s all just lots of billiard balls is just as facile. Not only are there certainly more factors involved than we know about, Horatio, but certainly one of the most important factors is gravity, and we don’t know what that is or whether it makes sense to say it’s made of particles.

D, why don’t you keep your beliefs to yourself and stop trying to impose them on other people. To quote Stephen Hawking (who is obviously more intelligent, but more importantly, more credible than you), “…it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn’t prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary.” Just because God isn’t necessary, or that you don’t believe in Him, that doesn’t mean that He doesn’t exist.

The colours in those pictures are human interpretations of the original Hubble images anyway, so it does not actually look like that. I thought I would just point that out.
And secondly, to debate the existence of something* that can neither be proved nor disproved, but is rather a belief specific to an individual’s perception of their reality and the framework of understanding that they might use to justify and understand their own existence is an exercise in futility. Especially when it is over the internet.
*God, and by your calling “him” God I assume you are referring to the God of Judaism, Christianity, and the Muslim faith, as opposed to any of the other systems of faith, such as Paganism.
