I can be sure that humans do not right now possess the ability to test for the existence of a deity.

Wow. I can actually correspond with someone who knows the extent of human ability in all places at the present moment. That said, how difficult is it for humans to test for the presence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws? How unreasonable is it for humans to deduce from the presence of organized matter and predictable laws that intelligence and design might somehow be involved with them?

You are rightly filled with awe. :)

Already done. That's not evidence for a God.

"How unreasonable is it for humans to deduce from the presence of organized matter and predictable laws that intelligence and design might somehow be involved with them?"

Very unreasonable.
