I don't assume that the laws of nature are or aren't intelligently designed. I say it's impossible for us to tell as we have no frame of reference. All attempts to decide that they are or aren't by staring at the contents fall foul of the fallacy of composition.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_composition
Quote:The fallacy of composition arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole (or even of every proper part). For example: "This fragment of metal cannot be fractured with a hammer, therefore the machine of which it is a part cannot be fractured with a hammer." This is clearly fallacious, because many machines can be broken apart, without any of those parts being able to be fractured.
