Back, Black. Told you it was a bad idea to get me all riled up about sexual organs. Now, to your question. No, I wouldn't ask you to believe such things, nor would I make such claims to you. But that's an entirely unrelated aside. You said there was a design, care to elaborate? How have you determined that reproductive organs are designed? I don't want to hear "There is a design :insert random complaints about misrepresentations of scientic explanations you don't like:". I want to hear "There is a design, and here is the evidence".
I seem to recall summarizing ID as a running joke of complaints, you can understand why your response is unsatisfying, yes? It matters very little why you personally "cannot believe" in this or that, that's your own problem as it applies to well evidenced explanations. What is required, if you want to call ID a theory, or science, is evidence for your own pet explanation. There might just be a little more to evolution, if we simply ran around saying "this evolved" your criticism would have merit, and "godidit" would be equally as valid. This is simply not the case.
"If not, how did they appear?" Well, lets just throw evolution out for our conversation. You've probably seen me do this with other posters. Everything we know is complete and utter bullshit, now explain to me why your explanation is correct. Nothing evolved, how does that default to god? This seems to be your thought process on the matter. "If not evolution then god." Well, that's not how it works.
