WHY DESIGN ASSERTIONISTS ARE SCREWED

Tell that to SETI.

Tell them they are wasting their efforts looking for evidence of design.

Let me guess ... you've never heard of pulsars? Only they should tell you something important about the rigorous business of determining a genuine signal from an intelligent alien life form from a natural phenomenon.

While you're at it, I don't suppose you have that rigorous means of detecting "design" that I've discussed at length in this thread? Only without it, all you have is the usual blind assertions about "design". Plus, my little exposition on the real nature of human "design", which offers ZERO support for magic design of the sort design assertionists keep banging on about, should also be telling you something important, as if the thousands of scientific papers extant in the literature establishing that we don't need magic to explain the biosphere aren't already screaming at you that your adherence to fictional mythology is fatuous.
