[off topic rant...
This forum is dominated by a dozen, sharp thinking scholars, who will put you down you and call you ignorant if you think out of their highly scientific mind-set.
This is only you first post and you've already been insulted by "betraying a staggering ignorance of scientific method" How rude and unwelcoming!
For someone who has made an average of 10 posts a day for 17 months (yes over 6000) I would expect a little more consideration for a newbie.]
A designer could be considered scientific if "he" fine tuned the universal constants/ laws of physics, i.e. the speed of light, the mass of sub atomic particles, the number of atoms, the strenght of gravity etc.

This is nonsensical, really.
You are quite right, let me make another point...
Currently there is not, and there never will be a scientific test to conclude with 100% certainty that our universe was not designed. Therefore, the concept of a designer is highly unscientific - i.e. completely magical. (I don't beleive in magic because defies the laws of physics)

point taken
Crashfrog,
I clearly jumped to the wrong conclusions by viewing only 1 of your replies.
apologies for the unjustified criticism.
