I usually charge for command performances...
This would show an active creator, keen to the task.
Great. If you could ask him why I had to see a chiropractor for my back, get a root canal for my teeth, and buy glasses because my eyes are such crap, I'd appreciate it.

Re: I usually charge for command performances...
Probably poorly designed human chairs for your back(sitting at the internet) and bad food for your teeth, not recommended by bible God.
So what? God's constantly correcting life, right? So why doesn't he get off his ass, already and start fixing some stuff?
Pretty shit design for such an intelligent designer.
Don't eat any animals and sugar or have ANY sexual activity for fifteen years sayeth omni-mike.
Which explains quite a bit about the increasing level of franticness in your posts.
Regardless, let's try a fun little experiment.
However, we do see species die off, and we know that they weren't fit enough. It might look like they evolved, but what if evolution is infact based on the magic warts on my ass? We see that the chain is needed for the circle of life. So if an important species dies off - the 'transitionals" would infact be my magic ass warts making improvements on the previous model. This would show a raging case of ass warts, keen to the task. It would mean that the food chain evolves, but mutations via natural fantasy, would not be the case.
The difference between this and the case you lay out for an intelligent designer is negligible. Saying "it's possible!" isn't enough... after all, it's also possible that my magic ass warts are responsible for all life.
Without something to suggest that it probably is the case, your argument doesn't amount to more than a neat little philosophical musing.

Re: I usually charge for command performances...
While that was amusing, the difference is that an ass wart isn't a conscious designer.
A magic ass wart can be.
I can show you a definition of God if you want, but basically he's defined as the creator of all life, but I didn't find this definition for ass warts.
You're gonna need a bit more specific a definition than that. As it stands, you're just saying, "Whatever caused life caused life."
So far, nobody has ever managed to give me a reasonable definition for what God is. I ask, and all they do is tell me his resume.
(Edit: Just started a spin-off topic on this. Perhaps we should take this part of the conversation over there when/if it's approved.)
