Actually, I can. The appearance of design is why the vast majority of people believe in God. If you think evolution is a valid defeater to design, you still have to rule out theistic evolution/guided evolution.

Is bone cancer an exception, or the state of the majority of children in the world? I want a clear answer.
Do you think it makes sense to make inference from exceptions, and not from the health status of the majority who don't have bone cancer?

It's really ironic that you mention the word mundane -which originates from the French word mondain=worldly. Something that is worldly belongs to the world. A mundane(worldly) explanation is an explanation inside the world.... How does that make you dispense with the creator of the world... outside the world ????
