We cannot look beyond the petri dish at the designer. We are in a situation that one bacteria is saying to another "something must be beyond us and I am stating that it must be in accordance to my idea." The other bacteria says "I don't know but I'm not going to accept your idea of this until that entity communicates with me because that is the only way to know for sure." The real difference between this scenario and the god idea is that we cannot communicate with bacteria but it is claimed that a god can communicate with us. I'm sorry but i cannot concede to such arrogance, if such a being did in fact exist, that it would care if we believe in it or not or that it "loves" us.I don't know if you saw my wristwatch analogy but if you found a watch with no markings, you would still conclude that it was designed by someone, even if you couldn't identify that person by looking at the watch. You would still be satisfied that they existed. Tracking down the designer may indeed be difficult but one thing is for certain - they exist. And another thing is possible - if you found him, you may not like him.
It is still much more humble and noble to say "I don't know so I keep looking."
