"But how "objective" is a phylogenetic tree that subjectively assumes relationships in morphology constitute relationships in objective history?"

Phylogeny is far more than just morphology these days.

" But the presence of organized matter behaving according to predictable laws is not a subjective judgement on my part."

No, it isn't. You claim that this means that there was an intelligent designer IS a subjective statement though. As I and Fester1 has already agreed, there is no way to make a weighted choice between the two options. The only way to make a choice in this is to assume some extra-scientific evidence that is subjective.

. . . there is no way to make a weighted choice between the two options.

Sure there is. And it is a weighted, subjective choice. My choice, and the choice of millions of reasonable people, is to infer from the presence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws that it is best explained by intelligent design. What is the other "option?"
