Why do Gods make such lousy engineers?

Is the best argument against "Intelligent" Design this one from Dr. Francisco Ayala, who is in addition to being a molecular biologist is also a former Catholic priest? His premise is that if life is designed whoever did it did a shit job! He suggests that on the basis of nature God would be a sadist and She would be "the greatest abortionist of them all."

Not that any rational approach will work with these people as they will just tell us that this is all part of God's grand plan and that Her purpose is unknowable by the likes of us, even though we MAY know that She designed all this!
