Well ... I call that inductive reasoning, not ignorance.
The part I was referring to was that you can't believe that it's exclusively the result of natural processes. Without demonstrable evidence of a designer or creator, it's not much of a convincing argument from where I sit.
Now, I'll admit that I don't know it's exclusively the result of natural processes. However, as I'm not privy to the existence of demonstrable non-natural entities or processes, I have difficulty appealing to such.
