Honestly, I think Esquilax pretty well covered it. If you really look at the evidence objectively, it becomes very clear that life's apparent "design" is actually the result of years and years of generation after generation of living things adapting to whatever conditions happened to be at hand. Various creatures (including humans) have vestigial limbs, organs, and other parts that do nothing useful and mostly serve as nothing more than sources of injury and illness.
An omnipotent designer could go back to the drawing board and fix or discard problems rather than having to just work around whatever the issue happens to be, leaving leftover parts and genes that don't do anything. An omniscient one could spot those problems from the outset and design everything to genetic perfection (which is not what's observed in nature--sorry to burst your bubble) before he even gets started making anything.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
