It's not that I am molding these things to look like they were designed, it is very apparent when you look at how they all work.
You have to show that there is a limit to genetic manipulation that requires supernatural intervention. Where is this exact demarcation line?
Behe tried to draw this line at chloroquine resistance in malaria and was proven wrong.
If you declare that a supernatural agent is behind evolution, then you have to draw the line clearly to distinguish between designed and natural evolution. Otherwise you are making claims that are not falsifiable and that is not scientific.
This is where Behe failed, and this is where all ID proponents fail.
Using the supernatural to explain events in your life is a failure of the intellect to comprehend the world around you. -The Inquisition
