Do hardline evolution-backers accept Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand" in economics?
Do they appreciate Michelangelo's Pieta, or Da Vinci's amazing scribblings of inventions?
Do they drive German cars? Or Japanese cars? Or even 55 Chevys, or mega-hp pickups?
They must understand what design is, and how much work goes in achieving it. We do, and looking at the redundant kludged together trash that we can already see in DNA, we know that only a halfwit godling could have designed that.
I believe in God.
I believe that if God had designed life, rather than letting it happen at random, he would have done a much better job.
I do not believe in an incompetent God.

A person who owns a Ford calls a Chevy a mish-mosh. And vice-versa. Not that the design of life and the universe is a mish-mosh as you or my analogy taken too simply might suggest -- but that the viewpoint that a person takes is awfully subjective. Your calling DNA a mish-mosh is premature at least. Not you nor anyone else knows enough of the whole interlinked network of chemistry and mechanics in the cell, of the cells in a organism, of the organism in a eco-system to objectively make such a statement. Perhaps it is premature conclusion derived from subconscious prejudices you entertain. A blindspot in objectivity. You don't seem to want to be appreciating the full warp and weave of the fabric of life. Why not? Perhaps because you like the easier premature judgement. Who knows? You have your reasons -- to reach objectivity it might be helpful for you to know, for you to discover, for you to self-examine for what those factors within you and your own history are. But not necessary -- all that's necessary is that you abandon the premature bias. To be able to say you don't yet know-it-all.

It was sin, that set in motion the deterioration (sickness, disease)of the perfect creation
