"And I must tell you that "we are given an incomplete condition by design and wonder" is a leap in the dark. It is an inference without any basis in fact. "

You've already conceded the state of incompleteness as a given and curiosity as a fact of our natural condition, so I don't understand your grievance.

"Why should you infer that an "incomplete condition" (imperfection) is "given" to us?

I was using 'given' differently, as in, 'it is a given fact.' I can see how the other definition, 'gifted' could be taken from my statement but that wasn't what I intended. Sorry for the confusion, my bad...

"Why should you infer that imperfection (ignorance) is "by design"?"

It is in the blue print.

"You simply ASSUME a Creator and then pretend to have proven it by argument."

I didn't make that presumption or conclusion, and would not since I am respecting your disposition on the matter for the sake of this discussion on ethereal existence.
