The issue though is you haven't really given an explanation, except an argument from incredulity.

Saying you don't know is fine. But that's not what you said, is it?

I don't know how it happened, but I DO know that it wasn't just mutation and natural selection. I also think that intelligence is the only known cause capable of explaining cellular biology, so that is my default conclusion until something else can explain it better. Do you want me to explain how the designer did it or what? It manually linked amino acids together and DNA to form a functional system. How's that?

If by your own proposition, this type of complexity could never be random and needed an intelligent designer, then who designed your designer? Surely an intelligent designer of life on earth would have to be unfathomably complex in comparison, so by your own rules how was it/he/she designed, and by who? Infinite regress much?

I mean, if you find the idea of life arising from non life utterly improbable, how the hell could you possibly entertain the idea of a supreme, supernatural being popping into existence from nothing? What you are asserting is far more outrageous than what you are rejecting. It makes literally no sense at all.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
