Atheism vs. God's Existence

[abaris]

I don't follow. Why would it be downgraded if it were designed? And why would it mean God is not that bright?

Quite simple. There are certain animals that have one over us. Regrowing limbs or teeth, better sensual capabilities, the works. If we are supposed to be the masterpiece, we're a pretty poor example as it is. Not to speak of the evolutionary remnants in our own body. Google is your friend if you were to look them up. Not that I think you would do that, since your type never does.
