The irony is, if a paleontologist finds some stone that looks like it has marks of carving or shaping, it is evidence for the presence of someone who did it.
If you find some form to electromagnetic radiation (as in SETI project) you ascribe it to higher intelligence.
When you find a bacterium in the mud, when just about all forces of nature are against it...the answer is,....
ta-da...why of course it evolved....
I would love to apply the same logic to the first
set of electromagnetic radiation we get from space(assuming we do, to date, we haven't), or some paleontologists claim that someone carved something out of stone, "why no,
it was erosion...(can't you see, mindless, purposeless, natural activity carved up those things you think are arrowheads?...?)

Sure. Because we can tell the difference between stones shaped by human hands and those shaped by natural forces.

Because we can tell the difference between natural electromagnetic phenomenon and intelligent transmissions.

We have only ever seen life-forms created by natural forces. There is no evidence that any lifeform has been created through intelligent design. So, it is logical to conclude that all lifeforms came about without intelligent involvement.
