@rosborne979,
There are thousands of intelligent designers on Earth of various levels of talent and education.
The Science Channel had a one hour special on the Hubble with spectacular CGI along with the most important photographs, including the deep fieldphotograph . If there's an cosmic intelligent designer, it must be Jackson Pollock.
Designing is creating according to a plan. Viewing the Universe through Hubble's photographs, there is absolutely no indication of any planning -- it's as random as the sand, pebbles, driftwood and shells on the beach, but in an astonishing display of light and color, sometimes as tranquil as fireflies over a pond and sometimes as chaotic looking as the H bomb set off at a Bikini Atoll test or a tornado raging through Kansas (Dorothy, Dorothy, where are you?). I'd just like the IDiots to give us a visualization of the cosmic drawing board, instruments used to draw out the design plan, the eraser for any mistakes (!), but especially the intelligent being using these art supplies.
Nature
is the higher power that humans have experimented with and successfully put a great deal of it to use. Humans still have little to no control over the whole scope of nature. Nature controls much of our environment and even though we've discovered how to harness parts of nature or, at least, help it along, nature will ultimately prevail. Just be caught in a hurricane, earthquake, tornado, tsunami, or a comet like Shoemaker-Levy 9 hits the Earth -- nature emphatically shows us that it is the master and I find no problem feeling humble towards nature.
If the God in the Old Testament had decided that humankind was a mistaken design, had began designing itself and decided to kill off all life with a world wide flood except for Noah, his family and pairs of animals of the opposite sex. Mr. and Mrs. Brontosaurus and the rest of the huge dinosaur species became extinct because the pairs had to be used as ballast on port and starboard.
Several times the narrator referred to the
evolution of stars, galaxies, planetary systems as we don't live in a static Universe. Evolution didn't start with the first living organism in the ocean, even though biological evolution was on its way.
