When scientists construct molecules, machines, or even a living organism itself, we learn absolutely zero about the origin of any of these things by mere matter in motion.
There is a serious logical disconnect involved in arguing that watching intelligent agents do their thing somehow provides evidence that the artifacts they make can come about by random means, guided solely by (unintelligent) natural selection.
People who fail to see the distinctions involved cannot rationally object to being suspected of a “religious” commitment to their preferred story of origins.
