hy: "Atheists and agnostics [trying] to out-think God" appears to me to grant a priori truth status to the notion that God exists; whereas of all groups, one might expect these two to be near the very bottom of the list of those who would do that. Is there any presupposition of the truth of the premise here?

Please fill me in, where do I err?)-I'm referring to the oft repeated complaint that God does not design things well. For example the human eye has a backward retina, creatijng all sorts of problems. Not so. I realy don't see my blind spot, and the arrangement makes for the best and highest use of energy by our retina, now a scientifically proven point. The recurrent laryngal nerve swoops about eight feet further in the giraffe, and several inches in us, being pulled down by the aorta in embryological development. Dawkins makes great fun of this and doesn't seem to know his ass from his elbow about all the new findings that refute him (despite his PhD in Zoology). Evolution is clever. The design comoplaints don't pan out, but the atheistic humans use human concept of design to complain that no god did it.
