""Insect wings and bird wings are physically different, and have different origins within the organism, but they are functionally similar". Notice that's not what the theory of intelligent design would predict."

Huh? Who says? You? LOL

Momma used to say that one of the side effects of a decent education is that one stops asking "Who's to say?" and starts asking "What reason is there to think so?" The first question directs attention to a quest for an authority figure. The second directs attention to the evidence. But that was momma. If you think you can explain non-functional differences between structures by appealing to the fact that there were designed for their function, go ahead and offer the explanation.
