What? If you had read it properly, you would realise that the person saw a "chunk of metal" and had no "a-priori" knowledge of what it was.

The person based on his logic concluded the car was designed, but was completely ignorant as to how the car works mechanically. He praised the designer.

Then as time went, people found out how the car worked, ie, combustion etc etc.

People don't say, "well, we now know how the car works mechanically, you are an idiot for thinking it was designed".

This is a classic example of the 2 parties talking past each other.

You still have failed to properly show how this man driving a designed car has anything to do with how someone interacts with religion. In fact, all it shows is that this guy found something he thought came from nature and made use of it.

So if this guy had no prior experience when he came upon this "chunk of metal", what clued him in that it came from a designer and not from nature? Be careful here; we don't want to go down the path of calling things from nature designed.
