I agree, ideally; that’s what it should be about. For example; I can look at the molecular-scale flagellar motor affixed to every E. coli bacteria, and see very clear intentionality in its design. If someone were to suggest to me it “just sort of happened randomly, because it had billions of years to blindly do so by random chance,” it’s an impossible sell imo - because it’s absurd. The available evidence at my disposal overwhelmingly suggests intentionality. However, if I presuppose zero intentionality, I am thereby constrained to believe an absurd thing; and must invent a chain of equally absurd things to explain it.

To me, presupposing Intentionality is much less ridiculous, and far closer intuitively to what the evidence suggests.
