Intelligent Design

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Only when your main arguments are argument from ignorance ("I can't figure out how these things could have come about via natural mechanisms, therefore it must have been my god") and argument from analogy ("this thing in the cell sure looks like a complex machine, therefore it must have been designed") does a magic being, that lives in a realm that can't be shown to exist, become the best explanation.

Complexity and function are not a sign of design.

It's not an argument from ignorance. I think you got to this thread late, but this has been covered a lot. It's not "We don't know, therefore God", it's "We do know how it works, and it functions like things that we only see paralleled (although not nearly rivaled) by things designed from humans" Therefore maybe it requires intelligence to exist.

Who the hell is "We"?

You don't know how something came to exist just by knowing how it works. You don't think another answer than your magic creator can be possible because you don't understand science at all. I may have been a biologist today if I hadn't been discouraged by the restrictions of a direct-ocular-only with glasses experience, while attending college in a lower-tech world, and compared to other sciences biology is of the best hiding places for those who would study without understanding. There is no need for understanding science in order to breeze through a biology classroom, when rote memorization of organs, organelles, and their functions is all that's required. This unfortunately gets people far enough that turning around is hard, and even if they do come to the realization how much their "science" involves no more science than auto mechanics, they will never admit it.
