Quite frankly, I interpret it as an attempt to reason that living creatures were not created based on divine design.
I interpret it to mean that if bat wings were specially designed, they were designed by an incompetent designer. I don't see any implication that no gods exist. You seem to be limiting the notion of "god", requiring that if a god exists, it must follow that this god specifically and individually designed each life form on the planet, thus if someone even suggests that each life form was not individually and specially created, the are effectively saying that no gods exist. Apparently the problem is in definitions, because I'm intelligent enough to realise that there are far broader definitions for "god" than what you have posited, thus ruling out special creation for each species on earth is not the same as ruling out "gods" in general.

I would have said that but I'm on a strict word count diet. ;^)

I think I understand. You do not object to the notion that God may exist, you just think he is incompetent. OK.
