We can imagine a lot of things, some clearly impossible, some plausible.

Are you tripping too hard over "imagine?" Should I have just said "think of?" You tell me you don't see how the Old Man of the Mountain could have formed or been destroyed without design. I can think of ways in which both could have happened without design.

But let's stay with "imagine." You say something can't happen without guidance. I imagine otherwise. I give you a scenario which is all physics and chemistry, no intelligent being stirring the pot. If it's on one of these threads, your next line is "What's the PROOF of that?"

ID-ers could just skip the whole first step, the attempted proof by failure to imagine, but then I guess guys like Behe would be out of business.

The old man of the mountain is of the same class as the man in the moon. It is a mental construct not a physical object. Different cultures see the rabbit in the moon too. The imagination comes in accepting that random mutations in nucleic acids result in formation of eyes and not in their destruction.
