And of course, this is where the story breaks down. Designs on cave walls COULD have come about by chance, but since we live on earth, and we know basically what people are capable of drawing, an intelligent source is easier to postulate.

Life is not some drawing, nor is it therefore easily inferred to have been created by a someone.

If life were a picture of a buffalo and spear, you might have a point.
