Why?

Also, biology doesn't do machinations.

I accept for arguments sake that biology is free of purposeful action.

"Apparent" is the key, and science has proven that our species perceptions of reality are notoriously flawed.

We don't doubt you truly believe your position, you are not the first theist we have ever debated. What we do doubt is your perception of reality.

Fair enough.
