Admittedly the range of basic physical parameters that our universe has, which make the evolution of life (and many other things in it, like star with nuclear fusion) is very narrow set. Not very likely to have happened by chance; however, to conclude from that fact that there must be an IDer, you must prove that there are not zillions of other universe, we can not detect that have different basic parameters that do not have any intelligent life in them.
We are existing, ergo our universe has a narrow set of basic parameters. It may be one of only a few thousand out of "zillions" that can evolve intelligent life. This possibility does not falify your faith based believe - only shows your support for it with known scientific facts is illogical as there are alternatives to your postulated IDer, which you ignore.
Also if we were to assume our universe was designed, the designer would be "the Stupid Designer" for all the obvious inefficient and down-right DUMB designs we observe. I have mentioned several in early (first page?) post so will just repeat an especially stupid pair of designs:
(1) The giraffe has "cheek nerve" that detects sticks brushing against the cheek or accidental internal biting of it, etc. and sends signals to its brain. These signals travel all the way down its long neck, pass under what is like our collar bone, then travel all the way back up that long neck to reach the brain for processing of their information content. If the giraffe was "designed" the designer is unbelievably STUPID, not intelligent.
The "scientific" / "evolution explanation," for this stupid set up (with other fossil facts supporting) is that long ago the ancestor of the giraffe actually had quite a short neck - hardly any at all and that long nerve path, under the collar bone was short. Unfortunately, evolution proceeds by many very tiny "analogue" changes and can not in any generation move the nerve to the top side of the collar bone, as that is "digital" / dramatic change, not possible by the accumulation of more than 1000 generations of tiny analogue steps
(2) Briefly, the human eye has a very stupid design compared to octopus as human photo sensitive cells are BEHIND the net work of blood vessels and the web of neural data collection fibers (axons) that converge at the "blind spot" to form the optical nerve. The octopus has the photo sensitive cell infront of all this "support structure" Its visual cortex has a much less demanding data processing task as each object's image is unified, not cut into several hundred unconnected pieces by the shadows of the blood vessels. Human visual cortex must "fill in" the missing parts ot the objects image and there are many possibilities for getting it wrong / false* - causing a perception of an illusion.
SUMMARY: if forced to reject the well documented "ton of data" supporting TOE, and to claim that all creatures were designed, I would conclude our set of creatures, man included with his dumb eye design, was designed as a "home work project" in a primary school class called: "Universe Creation, 101" by the most stupid god to ever attend the class.
* Here is an easy way to do demonstrate a false perception:
As search on "bind spot" will give instructions on how to demonstrate it, I don't. I only suggest that instead of the tiny x those instructions tell about as to how to make it fall on the blind spot (not be seen), instead put a vertical green line where they place the blind spot, but where the x was, make the color of that small section of the vertical line red.
Your false perception will be of a continuous vertical every where green line - visual cortex processing "filled in" the missing red section with the very reasonable guess that there was a green section connecting the two actually "half lines" as one was just above the other, and routinely fills in for the blind spot.
