I reject the underlying assumption because:
1. Current life forms are far from perfect.
2. Life forms are evolving daily both due to the hand of man and natural selection (Think MRSA).
Of course once you have a point of view, your built in filter makes sure only supporting data gets through. That is why Muslims stay Muslims, Liberals stay liberal and so on. We humans aren't particularly rational no matter what our IQ. Me either when it comes to the stock market:-)
Your rejections aren’t valid-
1: ID doesn’t rely on perfection models- ID simply sutdies complexity- which of course is variable, and hwich could not have biologically arisen through T&E- irreducible complexity means any part not present renders a system non functional
2: Life forms are MICROEVOLVING not MACROEvolving
