For the record, I am trained in Microbiology/Bacteriology. I am also trained to broaden my view and not to focus narrowly on what are perceived to be "knowns." If you are trained in science, then you should know that a great many discoveries started out as "gut feelings" or a hypothesis based upon an analysis of factual data.
And if cells were "intelligently designed" then the designer needs some remedial training for they are models of inefficiency, duplicity of function, are wholly insecure, and are enormously information intensive.
Talk about a narrow focus - whew!
Humans will be designing our own cells in a few years, and they will borrow from nature, but will also VASTLY improve upon so called "intelligent" design
It is certainly conceivable, and just possibly as in the case of breast milk, humans may find out at a later date that there was more than they originally thought. This is precisely why one should maintain a broad view and not focus narrowly on what are perceived to be "knowns."

See, there you go! You are not making statements or drawing scientific conclusions, yourself!
You are, in fact, making statements about how you believe God must behave. You are denying that there is a creator OF A CERTAIN TYPE!
You are messing with the metaphysics, not the science. You really need to be honest about this, at least with your self, since I suspect you will deny to me that you are doing this.
