False. The existence of something does not imply intelligent design behind its creation.
It is the definition of a leap of faith.
If evidence is forthcoming to render the premise factual (creation myth or whatever ones wants to call it), let it be presented:
I think what it comes down to is that some folk will only be convinced by what is evidenced and, importantly, testable and verifyable. And some will be convinced by what they believe to be true. If I were to do the latter it would be dangerous, especially if, say, someone tried to convince me they could cure me of my T1 diabetes by using a pill but they refused to tell me what was in the pill and that instead I had to believe it would work. Relying on hard evidence is a virtue, one that is often frowned upon by those that cannot provide it to back up their claims.
