And where did your lover get her infertile body from? Neither came from your own intelligence. They are both gifts of nature upon you. So neither of you get to take the credit for how fertile or infertile you are. Obviously it doesn't make you smarter. It makes the nature that gives everyone their respective bodies smarter than any human mind.
I don't worry first about the explanation of apparent design first, but rather simply what it means for something to "appear" to be designed?
What does it mean for something to "appear" designed? To avoid the expense of a meaningless, unending debate, I will concede - it means nothing.
So now that it means nothing, go and make me one flower. You must have better designing ability than nothing, right?
