Are you making the assumption that "the designer" is God? And then making assumptions about the attributes and qualities of "the designer" that would preclude errors?

lol. I don't this will be very popular from the ID crowd:

"Either life evolved according to natural laws, or it was designed by an entity with questionable abilities and intelligence."

I know of no one who wants to think of God as a third rate software engineer.

Heh. But of course, ID is not dependent on assuming that the "designer/code" is God, after all -- although clearly that is the perspective of the "Creation Science" folks. But heck -- assume God is 1st rate A+, but the actual work gets done by entities (sub-sub-contractors) that are just "pretty good". Fact is, even 1st rate software engineers produce code with bugs. And if you look at the complexity of the systems (life) you would have to concede that the actual level of bugs within the systems is actually very, very, very, very low -- way better than people could do if they were design/coding it.
