Because we know that people build clocks, how they build clocks, and where they build clocks? In other words, there are ways of testing the claim that it was designed.

Oh, so we know the universe could not have been created by G-d because there are no universe factories with "gxds" creating universes on an assembly line.

I note that evolutionism and theistic religion have one very strange thing in common: the conviction that mankind bears a unique moral obligation to acknowledge his creator. Why else would so many atheists act as if there was something "wicked" or "immoral" about denying evolution?

And as you are well aware, I am a southern redneck. I am well aware that self-hating Southerners have to go out of their way to attack Fundamentalist Protestantism to make up for it. But oddly, I am unaware of any burning compulsion to attack anyone else's religion.

"Oh, so we know the universe could not have been created by G-d because there are no universe factories with "gxds" creating universes on an assembly line."

I never said we could know either way. Why did you have to resort to a prevarication? :)

"I note that evolutionism and theistic religion have one very strange thing in common: the conviction that mankind bears a unique moral obligation to acknowledge his creator."

And I note you're full of it. :)

"Why else would so many atheists act as if there was something "wicked" or "immoral" about denying evolution?"

They don't, you made it up. :) BTW, most people who accept evolution are Christian in the USA, not atheists.

"And as you are well aware, I am a southern redneck."

And how would I have been aware of that?

"I am well aware that self-hating Southerners have to go out of their way to attack Fundamentalist Protestantism to make up for it."

When did you stop your therapy? And, btw, you assume too much.

"But oddly, I am unaware of any burning compulsion to attack anyone else's religion."

Nor am I. You have an active imagination. :)

Well...

According to headquarters in SLC, up near KOLOB is where the factory (ies) is/are located.

Would you mind stating the theory of evolution and pointing out where this "unique moral obligation to acknowledge [the] creator" appears?

I don't recall ever noticing it.
