Of course, that's why I'm an agnostic, not an atheist or believer in any God. I can't know, so I just consider the possibilities, and being outside the system the design theory seems to have much less success in predicting results of natural processes than the scientific theory. So, if you are talking about nature I simply use the most sucessful model. That does not mean that the model is perfect, it just gives the best results.
By the way I didn't say anything about the existance of a designer in the post below, I just said that the argument is wrong because from my point of view natures ability to make these thing is no surprise.
