Three's a crowd

Pluto's moons
It appears as though distant Pluto has three moons instead of one. Astronomers, however, are baffled by the orbits these moons occupy; the orbits simply don't adhere to expectations derived from evolutionary models. This discovery, like so many others in astronomy, frustrate rather than support the model of cosmic evolution that scientists so faithfully adhere to. Yet scientists will go to great lenghts to find an explanation--no matter how much of a stretch or improbability it is--that is compatible with evolution. If discovery after discovery fails to buttress the naturalistic framework of science, couldn't it be possible that nature itself reflects the handiwork of a Designer?

I guess it could be.

The work of a designer that comes up with an incredibly intricrate and complex and deceptive plan that makes everything seem to fit together perfectly in a way that's utterly superficial, but then occassionally says, "Ah, forget it, that's good enough" and flubs some of the details.

It seems like it's also possible that they're the work of a Designer who allowed his work to unfold in a perfect organic fashion that we have yet to completely understand.
