You know?... that's not how rational thought works.
You don't start off with what things are not.
You go looking for what they are.
Gravity can "not be" many many many things. But it is only one thing.
If it is intelligently designed, science should eventually get there.
Until then, there is no reason to assume that it is.
Why do you believe that it is intelligently designed?
Because you can't understand the current physical understanding? Because it's not sufficient for your high standards?
Or because you are the one who's been brainwashed to find an intelligent designer in everything and look down on everyone else who is a tiny bit of intellectually honest with themselves and others around them?
You are too stupid to see that you place your faith in science
just as the blind faith religious place their faith in their religions
YOU WROTE:

That's the type of statement the blind faith make
Can't you see that? Probably not

Can you imagine Why I put my faith in science?
Maybe it's because of historical track-record?
Maybe it's because it has provided me with a nice and comfy life?

Again, you're not reading my words properly. "if" and "should" denote some uncertainty.
It is you who seem to be certain of the "intelligent design" notion. Why is that?

MY RESPONSE:
Yes well, blind faith Christians often express uncertainty as to whether or not Jesus
will return within their lifetimes.
It's the same type of blind faith uncertainty

So tell me, what's the historical track-record for that return?

As for myself, I leave the matter casually open.
My beliefs today may change dramatically tomorrow

MY RESPONSE:
After having more than one near-death experience I would have to say
Jesus returns for each virtuous person when they die

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

The same happens in science. New evidence can overturn old theories.
Some have so much evidence nowadays that it would be difficult to overturn... instead, they'd most likely need a few adjustments.

Only after dying?
Not much that can convince the living, then, huh?

If it were the same science would say something like:
'We currently believe Darwinian evolution to be a fact,
however, that may change tomorrow.'
Instead, they act as though they know for a fact
what they DO NOT know to be a fact!!!
I call that DISHONEST and IGNOBLE!!

So this all boils down to a simple misunderstanding you have regarding science? Gee, you don't say.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
