It isn't a matter of if you are going to die, just when. There are no guarantees for the latter.
Surrendering to Jesus offers you two major benefits,
- The invitation to be with Him when you do leave this planet, AND
- The promise to help you in this life [see Romans 8:28].
How do I surrender to Jesus if I don't believe in his existence?
You're a rational and intelligent living being, why aren't you a plant? Their existence is far more simpler, and they don't have a need for the distinct and unique senses of the body to survive, such as the ability to see through the eyes, hearing through the ears, smelling through the nose, and tasting through the tongue- and add to that nerves to feel and touch things! They don't need to enjoy pleasure through these mediums at all. They don't need a brain, one that has a mind to reason and have rational thoughts, nor the need to verbally communicate and have discourse with another person. They find their sustenance in simple things. By using the energy of sunlight, plants can convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen (as if that isn't already intelligently designed). Why are we so complex? Why do we have all this extra baggage of "useless" things if plants can survive without them?
Don't you have consciousness? Where do you derive this self awareness?
You are also a moral being. Unlike the lower animals, you have a sense of justice and morality, of right from wrong and what is good from bad. We call it 'murder,' but the lower animals have no such classification. We call it "theft," but animals don't know it like that. If someone wrongs another, we believe something must be compensated. Why? We have marriage unions, the lower animals don't know that. We consider sexual pleasure something beyond reproduction, something special, the lower animals don't understand that. From where do you get the idea that something is right and something is wrong, unless you have a law within you that distinguishes the two in what we call the conscience? Why does the conscience strive against our desires? Why does the conscience deride our loose behavior and guide our moral judgment? What is the conscience? If there is a law of right from wrong, who is the Law-giver? If there is a standard of morality, who made it?
You alone are full of evidence, let alone the creation around you. We can go on about the human anatomy, how symmetrical it is in many ways and how perfect the organs are situated in the body, how each function with the help of another for a given purpose. We can talk about all the things that are unique about you because of how you were made.
You're asking questions that you think you already know the answers to - but most of them don't make sense, or don't have answers supported by evidence either way. I won't refute the existence of God, but nothing you have said supports it. Other animals, like dolphins or apes, have the same senses and apparent cultures that exhibit similar tendencies as our (constantly shifting) morals, and what you imply to be a universal set of laws and moral given by God is not at all the same between human cultures. Other species mate for life and have sex for pleasure. And every species evolves with "perfect" organs - they wouldn't live to reproduce if they didn't. None of this refutes God's existence, or his presence in creation, but none of it proves it or even provides evidence one way or the other.
