How is it "superstitious" to attribute design to biological entities that function as machines? Can't remember the last time I got superstitious over seeing a car or a lawn mower, though I reckon there was a time when Indians became superstious over guns. But not for long.
The design involved with biological entities, by the accounts of evolutionism, must be far less complex or interesting than the design involved with cars and lawn mowers, which we somehow intuitivuely know to be intelligently designed. Which is easier to build from scratch: a lawn mower, or a blade of grass?

Just as it would be superstition to attribute design to, say, the Face On Mars.

A blade of grass. To get that lawn mower, you must first not only evolve a blade of grass... but also an intelligent being capable of designing the lawn mower.
