This argument holds that the design of living beings is poor, and thus no higher intelligence could account for such a design. Let's look at humans.
Humans are very fragile creatures. They must live in an environment with a very narrow temperature range (considering the extreme highs and lows in the natural world). They succumb to disease and degenerative processes too easily.
But the most obvious part of the argument has to do with how new humans are created.
When a sperm cell and an egg meet, they blend their DNA to create new DNA for a new being. If this were the end of the story, it would be a sign of genius, and an argument that a god or gods Italic texthadItalic text to exist. But, the story goes on.
After the new fetus starts developing, it generates massive amounts of Testosterone or Estrogen. These hormones lead to the development of the proper sex organs. This is where the design flaw is: this level of indirection is, in the minds of atheists, a sign of total incompetence. Thus, if a god or gods exist, he/she/they are unworshippable.
