"The point isn't that it's the only possible explanation, the point is that it's the best explanation for what is known."
It's no explanation at all. It's "I don't know, so God did it".
"Because it is the better explanation."
You ignored the question. If something can be explained without invoking a designer, invoking an unknowable designer is not the best explanation.
"Complexity and specificity."
Indistinguishable from a universe with a designer but with laws of nature.
"Sure. Mix up a soup of chemicals and watch the flagellum come together."
An ID'er would just have to say that that is how the designer designed it. How could someone dispute them?
"They were designed to have a limited time like biodegradable plastic?"
You don't have an answer.
"Because there is a limit to human mind."
That doesn't explain why the *Designer* doesn't require an even more powerful designer. It's just a cop out.
"What came before the Big Bang according to materialism?"
I don't know about according to materialism. But according to science, the question makes no sense. There was no *before* the Big Bang.

Where did the forces that structure the universe (physically, biologically, etc.) come from. That bind atoms and molecules together?

Next time I post those questions I'll be more specific, in order to exclude certain nonsensical responses.

It's no explanation at all. It's "I don't know, so God did it". Unless God did it. Why reject the possibility? It is not science to say "God didn't do it" if you don't know the answer.
