Living things are designed, and we know a lot about the process of design. It is called natural selection.

If you wish to assert an alternative, you are free to do so, but asserting things were poofed into existence will not cut it in science. Certainly not after a century and a half of observing natural selection.

Feel free to list all your observations.

On a slightly different note, the story of Piltdown Man is hilarious. Dropping a fake half-man, half-orangutan skull into the laps of Darwiniacs is kind of like dropping forged Texas Air National Guard documents into the middle of the CBS News World HQ. It just has to be true! It just has to be! Uhh, care to authenticate that? Why? Its gotta be true!

That is an unprovable hypothesis, and merely an unsupported assertion

You stated merely an opinion. I was giving a sincere answer to your question, which you ignored. You implied that if one believed life was actually designed as-is, one would have no need nor motivation to understand it. I gave valid reasons why that statement is not true.

This thread is not about science. It is about evolution and creationism. Science is just a man made word to convey a meaning. To state something is not about science is like stating that a thing is not about "music". Which begs the question: Is a solid state laser in a CD player not valid because it is not about "music"? Is the music on the CD not valid because it is not about "Science". You try to play the "science" card yet make unsupportable assertions right off the bat. I question your sencerity as well as your ability to discern the difference between what is raw observation and what is merely speculation derived from that observation. When it comes to science, EVERYTHING is black and white.
