There's so much in the human brain that's either redundant, dysfunctional, or implemented in such horrible ways that would make any sane designer run shrieking into the night. You can extend that statement to anatomy in general and to the genetic code. Even a cursory examination of any of these reveal systems that look like an assemblage of bad accidents. They're incredibly organic.Of course they will trot out their typical argument
BTW, your arguments from "I don't believe science thus God" aren't impressing anybody. They make you look more than a bit clueless.
"But bad design doesn't mean no design hurr durr "
Of course good luck getting them to answer what would count as non designed .
Except that it doesn't even look like bad design. Bad design would imply an incomprehensible/incompetent/uncaring/malevolent deity. I can see it for a trickster god, if one really wanted to go through all the effort of making our genome an incomprehensible mess, but that seems like a whole lot of work for little gain. It doesn't fit the Abrahamic deities very well.
Design is easy to spot, not so much by what it is but by what it isn't. You don't put a lazing cavity on a sail boat, you don't put a rudder on a web sever, you don't worry about the bandwidth of a toothbrush, and you don't rate an optical interferometer on its ability to remove plaque and tartar. We notice Paley's pocketwatch on the beach because the rocks and sand and seaweed don't look designed.
