I don't think I have an answer, but there are spacial and temporal dimensions. We 3D creatures can be outside of a 2D spacial realm. In a similar way, something could conceivably be outside of the temporal realm also. Not a great answer, but I don't see why it couldn't.
So, a thing that you don't understand, is in a realm that you can't tell if it even exists, and it does things in ways that you can't fathom, and somehow you think this has any explanatory power?!
And your entire reason you accept this, is because of some vague passages in a Bronze Age text of mythology.
Yeah, you're doing science alright.

They all have qualities with characteristics of design? you can say "I don't know", and that's fine but then aren't you incorporating faith that there will be an alternate answer to explain the qualities of design without a designer?

Not having an answer is no reason that one should be subjectively provided for the comfort of one's curiosity. When the answer is provided, it will be because science has provided it in accordance with evidence.

Fine tuning of the universe?
Our galaxy is on a collision course with Andromeda, a collision that could destroy much of both galaxies. We just need to look at the surface of the Earth and the moon to find evidence of massive impacts by asteroids and meteors. These are signs against fine tuning.

Care to tackle heterotrophism Trips. Wave that one away for me? Go ahead, google it, compose your thoughts.
As to your last excuse..who cares about all the engineers that have ever lived? That was the best that -your- designer could do? Infinite power..magical abilities....expansive mind......and you settle for: "better than what some apes could come up with" ......really?
