Mankind was created through evolution, as Science says and that's a fact. But all this happening by pure chance and without intelligent design is illogical, as my brain example for instance illustrates. If you want to prove me wrong, take a swing at my example in my post on the first page.

Life and its complexity does not prove intelligent design in any way. Your brain is no more miraculous than countless creatures that exist or have existed on this planet. A dolphin can not only see with its eyes but with sonar as well. It can see an object that is hidden away in a box.
Would you be considered an idiot for not knowing that an object exists within that box because you do not have sonar and can not see things that a dolphin can? Humans and dolphins evolved along very different paths. A dolphin knows and understands things that are necessary for its survival. It might not be able to hop in its car and drive down to the bar but then again it doesn't need to either.
You could argue that life itself is proof of intelligent design. Isn't the complexity of proteins or DNA proof enough of intelligent design? The complexity of life does not prove or disprove anything. There is only one thing capable of doing so and that is complex thought.
Life existing is no more a miracle than the matter and energy that makes up our universe. A million years from now the dolphin or squid could be the most intelligent life form on this planet. Unless of course we were to genetically engineer ourselves to prevent such a thing from occuring. Such a thing might be prevented by laws by people who might state that it would go against creation even though we have no proof of such an event. There is nothing wrong with someone impossing their will on others is there? Everyone should have the same beliefs?
If life is so perfect in its design then why is it so flawed? Life is amazing and can survive under extreme circumstances yet it is fragile and sometimes doesn't even survive birth. Then you have mutations and genetic abnormalities. We have to worry about disease and viruses.
Doesn't it strike you as odd that all life is in competition with all other life? All life has to kill other life to survive. Killing for sport would be considered wrong by many but there is nothing wrong with it if we have to do so for survival. Why create life so it has to kill other life to survive? The next bird flu could kill millions of people. Do viruses and such things do so because they are evil? Why would life evolve in such a way when it seems to have no other purpose then to kill other life?
Why would a virus that is spread by human contact kill its host? If there are no longer any hosts how will that virus survive to spread to others? Would that not be a flaw with its design? I think a smart virus would do the exact opposite. It would not harm the host but would be beneficial to it allowing it to spread more easily. We might one day be able to genetically engineer viruses in such a way. Maybe that would be considered intelligent design?
I don't think it would be considered a bad decission because anything that goes a little way to ensuring yor survival is probably a pretty smart thing. That is if sticking around is a smart thing to do.
