How would you know that the Designer hadn't intervened?

Do it consistently according to rules that predict it would occur. It would prove evolution was a natural event without the requirement of a designer.

It would not disprove God.

Why are you obsessed with disproof of God? I have never understood this. It's insane.

There are some vocal athiests among scientists. There are athiests in all professions, probably even among clergymen.

But science seeks to find out how things work. The worst it can do to religion is demonstrate that things don't work the way some religious people claim they work. At most it can demonstrate that the community of believers, like any community of people, contains some people with wrong beliefs.

"It would prove evolution was a natural event without the requirement of a designer."

It would falsify evolution. It is not part of the theory of evolution that a bunch of chemicals mixed together will form a flagellum. That's a creationist (ID) fantasy version of the ToE.

"It would not disprove God."

Nor would it an any way show that a designer had not intervened. In fact, it would be good evidence that one HAD intervened, as there is nothing remotely *natural* about a bunch of chemicals being mixed together and forming a flagellum. That is not even close to how the ToE says the flagellum came to be.
