Drew_2013...I believe in a Creator/Higher power (not a god though) but here is a problem I find with your reasoning.
Before design seemed automatic without detailed explanation of evolution. And even then, it needed evidence, which now there is. But if you lived in the past, like long long time ago, you would simply argue on account of biology and it would be an argument from ignorance, but one that seems so real and manifest, that it definitely is the case there needs to be a designer because of design in nature...but we know this has been refuted.
What if in the future, there is more evidence and more explanations. This is why arguing from ignorance is not all too convincing.
The argument of evil is also an argument from ignorance. So don't feel bad Atheists do it too
