I'd like to know what a non-designed reality would be like.
If there can't be one, then "designed" just means "exists" in this context.
We have one reality, which we're bound into, and cannot objectively view externally. We have no realities to compare to. Trying to compare it to bits of itself is the fallacy of composition (among other things probably). It's a little bit like trying to show the bible is true, including what is written on the cover of a particular bible that we can't see, by showing bits of it are true.
PS: atheism is only "rebellious" in the sense that it's currently the minority position. It's not actually any more rebellious, philosophically, than disbelief in Santa.
