What we actually _observe_ is kind of common "design".

Darwin's theory has been
much researched and refined in the last 150 years.

It has received so much criticism as well. Look, I can understand that
science should not allow God into its theories. But IF we are forced to
distort a theory, for the sole reason that kind of an intelligence would
be needed to proceed, are we still doing honest science then? (Mind the
"if" clause in the above)

So you are sympathetic to Intelligent Design theory?
