You believe in people with a rudimentary understanding of the world around them writing what they believe (perhaps) to be true ?

He thinks it;s on a cave wall somewhere. What an asshole.
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!

Even if there's some guy in another (part of) reality that designed us, so what? Why the fuck would anyone assume it's sitting there grading people on which ancient story book they prefer, and moving them on to some other reality if they get it "right"?
What a ludicrously convoluted scenario. If there's a designer, we know nothing about them, other than the fruits of the labour, which are shit. Literally shit in fact, they decided it would be a good idea that we need to shit. What an amazing design.
Creationists can't decide if there were a load of problems that needed overcoming when God first showed up, or whether God created the groundwork which then led to those problems in the first place. As usual, they need it both ways.
But you're not looking at the scenario as a creationist would.
Their basic world view is, "That'll work because god!! Hyuck!"

You should separate the fact that we have proof of design from the Designer. Topics related to the Designer fall under theology if you want to move the topic to the Religion forum now that the debate is over; since post 1.
