The Watchmaker: my fav argument

[John 6IX Breezy]

If its purpose was to design an earth that seems not ideal for purpose and un-designed, then kudos to it, it did a great job, but then how can we tell the difference?

If you had purchased the earth off the shelf in a god shop, advertised as an ideally designed place for humans to live in, you would return it as faulty

(The atomic bomb illustrates that destruction can be purposeful and designed. If that wasn't your initial point I retract my argument.)

To the latter, I think that in agreeing that Earth is faulty and needs returning you've echoed the Christian narrative. Not only does the story claim that Earth broke down at the Fall and got tossed inside out at the Flood, but there's continual references to restoration and a New Earth to come.
