"TO the extent that your theory relies for its explanatory power on the unknown and unknowable prefernces and predilictions of a supernatural being, it is myth or legend, not science."

Rest assured, Intelligent Designers using gene-splicing to program DNA such that pigs grow organs that are useful to humans is fact and science, not myth, legend, or magic.

Rest assured, Intelligent Designers using gene-splicing to program DNA such that pigs grow organs that are useful to humans is fact and science, not myth, legend, or magic.

Once again, you conflate I.D. with i.d.. Note that HUMAN genetic engineers use gene-splicing to grow pigs in labs, and their motives and preferences are easily determined. The hypothesized Intelligent Designer of the Universe is a mythical or supernatural being who is totally beyond our comprehension.

You have yet to offer an explanation for why the former allows you to make claims about the latter.
