> I will assert here (as I have before) that if a human being can design any one thing in a simpler manner than how it appears in nature; than it means that man is smarter than God, plain and simple. If that design can be transplanted into a living organism, it gives life to my claim and further hurts any argument that God is a UI. (And if God isn't a UI, it isn't really worth much of anything.)

Aside from a slight sense of arrogance in, I see a few fundemental flaws in the statement, or rather in the scope of the argument. Perhaps if you altered it to say:-"If a human being can design any one thing in a simpler, more elegant, and more efficient manner than how it appears in nature, that performs all the same functions, has the same capabilities...."-The restrictions should actually be much tighter, because for me to believe a man was smarter than God, whatever man created would have to be able to reproduce new and more complex structures over time that, excluding free willed creatures, could maintain a semblance of homeostasis.
