The whole point is that it is not "clearly designed". That claim is
merely an excuse on the part of creationists for having no evidence to
sup****t their religious doctrine.

Once again, it is not. You can make that assertion all you want, but you
will be wrong each time. Repeating that assertion, now that you know it
is false, makes you a liar.

But you know that the evidence does not point to a designer. There is no
evidence at all for a designer. That is merely a hollow claim made by
religious zealots who refuse to accept the physical evidence.

Once again, you misrepresent what is going on. Once again, you lie about
science. Once again, you mock your God with the doctrines you teach.

Your lies deserve to be condemned. You need to stop telling lies. You
need to repent.

It's nice to see you try to defend your lies with scripture. Sorry, but
you are still lying.

"Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel
to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy
Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should
take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in
which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh
it to scorn." -- Augustine, The Literal Meaning of Genesis
