Why do atheists consider the concept of a creator as invalid?

Why is it that atheists find it more plausible that the intricacy - order to detail - of the universe, the earth's fine tuning of life, the human genome - which in itself has, merely for ONE strand of DNA, a building code immensely complex than human language - and the moral law in man's being, all came as nothing other than a result of chance/random happenings but most difficult to accept it was created by a creator/intelligent designer??

I don't think that all atheists find the concept of A creator as invalid, just that the existing proposals concerning said creator are nonsensical.

That aside, we could also use Occam's Razor. How did life arise? Nobody is sure, but if the options are...

1: It's a natural, ordered, and rational occurrence in our universe under these conditions.

Or

2: A non-corporeal, all-powerful, all-knowing, unfathomable yet strangely human-like being did it for unknowable reasons.

We might see why some people just think 1 is more likely correct.
