You do not object to the notion that God may exist, you just think he is incompetent. OK.
Wrong.
The statement implies that if a creator specially designed each species individually, then there's a lot in the work that seems unprofessional or incompetent. Once again, you refuse to accept a "god" definition outside of your rigid demands, insisting that either the "god" that you want to exists, or none exist at all. You ignore the possibility of a creator that did not individually and specially design each individual species, but rather allowed evolution to bring about the species that we see on Earth today. In this case, the "god" would not necessarily be incompetent, because the "inefficiency" of the makeup of various species would simply be a consequence of the creator allowing the species to come about as they did.
It's also presumptious for you to claim to know my point of view with respect to gods. So that you do not make the mistake in the future, I'll spell it out for you. While I cannot claim absolute knowledge that no gods exist, I also have not seen any evidence for any gods. In abscence of such evidence, I withhold belief, for I find it foolish to believe in things for which I have no justification.

OK, so God is not just incompetent, but unprofessional also.
