For anyone who has even vaguely followed the astronomical text debates must know how incredibly precise even the order of the planets are in the solar system, ordered enough for us to predict ancient skies.
Usually precision takes direct action. For instance, you can look at the sand in the desert randomly blown by the wind and see some "order" to that. But if you saw a pyramid would you presume it randomly created itself? Of course not, certain things suggest intelligent DESIGN...at least to some of us.
I for one have gained an especial appreciation of the science of the order of the solar system based upon my very limited experience with ancient astronomy. Even the coordination of the lunar cycle with the solar cycle, it's amazing.
Now if I had the chance of just thinking: Wow, this is an incredible accident, or Wow, somebody really planned this well. I'm going to think somebody planned it. But that's just me.
