We like to question.
It's not "I don't understand how it works, therefore some deity must have done it" its" We know how it works, and it works like a designed system, therefore designer". Based on the quality of the design, we can assume that if it was designed, then the designer was pretty smart.
Where you are wrong is to call it "intelligently" designed. You don't know that, you cannot prove that, while the liklihood that life, if it can be said to have been "designed" at all, is overwhelming that it was done by nature through attrition. The code kept changing and then there was RNA, which outperformed what is no more. Then came DNA, and greater complexity spiraled. Numerous events on the life history tree are consistent with what would be expected when new innovations which come about this way open up pathways for greater diversity, leading to a diversity of adaptability traits, and more life of different forms abounding everywhere. What works in life just happens to be of genes which did not stop reproducing on account of failure to work well enough to lead to reproduction.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
