Even if there was a Designer, does it matter?

There's an old controversy about who wrote the Shakespeare plays. Shakespeare authorship question - Wikipedia
My attitude is that it doesn't matter. I value the plays, and it isn't important who actually wrote them. Of course some scholars still see it as an interesting question.I think jar is raising the same question about the designer. Isn't it what we see in the world and in the biosphere that matters? The question of whether designed and designed by whom is of only minor academic interest, and the important question is about what we find in the world regardless of whether it was designed.

But what if all of the available evidence is that they came from folklore, where they were passed from generation to generation with modifications. That's more like the evolution case. Then does it really matter whether there was a single original author?

On the contrary, I do understand it, and I mostly agree.However, I don't think that what you are saying has to do with what jar intended the thread to discuss. Evidently his OP had some ambiguity, and what you are taking to be the topic is different from what I am taking to be the topic.
