When I look around in this beautifully designed world I find it hard to believe all of this 'just happened'.
When I look around and see backward's-facing retinas in the human eye, spines not designed for upright travel, knees that barely work, and other example of pretty crappy design that works just barely well enough to keep us alive long enough to have sex, I find it hard to believe that we're the agency of any sort of design but the most incompetent.
On the other hand, the way things are is exactly what we would expect from evolution. You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but while there may be a superficial appearance of design to the world, the more you dig into it, the less purposeful it starts to look.
Welcome, BTW.
