A lot of people find it very hard to understand how the complex things we see in nature could have come about without the intervention of some intelligent being like us.
But just think for a second how 'we' design things using our intelligence.
We try something out and if it doesn't work, we don't do it again, because we remember that it didn't work the last time. In this way we can gradually improve on our designs over time.
That is how intelligent design works. Trial and error sped up a little by memory.
Now that doesn't really tie up with the idea of this god character, now does it. A god that instantly created everything as it is now, without any practice, couldn't be described as intelligent. As it isn't using memory at all, the primary constitute of an intelligent system.
Nature doesn't have the benefit of memories to speed things along, but then it has billions of years ...and infinite simultaneous attempts, across infinite space... to do the things that it does.
And once a molecular structure like RNA or DNA develops, it effectively 'does' have a memory after all.
@Buddy R - I think I can smell your straw man burning.
