Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

Even though I, for the most part, support the evolution idea, I am still not putting down intelligent design. The only reason I still think that it might of been intelligent design is because the earth just happened to turn out a little to perfect for evolution. However, I still support the idea of evolution because of adaptation. Many supporters of the intelligent design idea use the example of how humans breathe out carbon dioxide and that's what the plants breathe in, of which they exhale oxygen, which humans breathe in. However, this can also be used as an example of evolution because its shows how we adapted to breathe in what the plants breathe out, so we never run out of air. Furthermore, the first humans might have been breathing in something else, such as carbon dioxide, but eventually we adapted over time to breathe in oxygen, which is similar to other adaptations that most people believe in. For example, the change from cavemen to humans today, we eventually adapted and there is no way that this could be an example of intelligent design. This is no different from the idea of the plants and humans that give off what the other one needs to survive. However, this still does not mean that I am completely throwing out the idea of intelligent design, but more of just I find it a little more evident of the idea of evolution.
