Not to mention the obsession such a deity would have had to have, for tinkering with dinosaur DNA for hundreds of millions of years. Drew expects us to imagine, that an unevidenced deity, that can create universes instantly from sheer will alone, using limitless supernatural powers, created one "fine tuned for life", with one species of evolved ape, as the main show.
Paradoxically the only life we know of exist in an infinitesimally small speck, and the vast majority of that universe makes life impossible, plus this deity waited over nine billion years for the tiny solar system to emerge from the universe it created, then waited another 4.54 billion years, using evolution that kills of the vast majority of species, just to evolve one species of great ape, a mere 200k years ago. Not to mention the fact, that this universe Drew imagines is "fine tuned" for life, is going to destroy all that life, when the sun immolates our planet, in about a billion years.
That's one hell of a plan, and calling it intelligent design, is a massive piece of irony. Parenthetically, if life were mere happenstance, and was no more significant than any other characteristic of that insentient universe, then that universe's indifference makes sense.
It's a puzzle alright...
