You can just ignore all the evidence of an intelligent designer. Ever been on a roundabout at the children's playground? What happens it it goes fast and you don't hold on? You will fly off! The earth spins much much faster yet we don't fly into space. The intelligent designer designed gravity so we can keep our feet on the ground.

"You can just ignore all the evidence of an intelligent designer. "
Believe me, as soon as you come up with some, we'll be happy to ignore it.
Of course there's an intelligent designer. If you didn't have people looking after you, you know, evil scientists and doctors and historians and engineers, providing you easy consistent food, reasonable living, medical care allowing you to live well past your 40s, you'd be too busy trying to keep alive to worry about such luxuries as posting on an internet.
"The intelligent designer designed gravity so we can keep our feet on the ground."
I've taken the liberty of correcting your statement:
"The intelligent designer designed gravity so we can keep our feet on the ground. the Earth will stay together and the ground will exist at all."
Funny, and here I was thinking that gravity was just an inherent property of matter.
So Jesus spends all of his time holding peoples feet to the ground? No wonder rapes and mass murders happen. Gods got his hands full of stinky feet.
The Earth wouldn't exist without gravity. Neither would we. A universe without gravity would be so fundamentally different from this one that almost nothing would be as it is here.
Just ignore that though and keep using it as an example of the universe being tweeked for life. I have the answers to all of these old arguments memorized. It would be a shame if you made up new ones.

Judge John E. Jones III would like a word with you. Despite all the 'evidence' by the likes of Michael Behe, Judge Jones (A Conservative Christian like you) found for the plaintiffs in Kitzmiller vs. Dover.
Because of said 'evidence' at times making a complete laughingstock of the 'Intelligent Design' case as a whole, Jones had no choice but to decide otherwise.
Thus as a result, This universe, this planet and all the life on it - even all things kept on this planet (and not flying off) aren't the result of an 'intelligent designer'.
The law says so.
That's good. That's really a clever analogy. Of course you've got it ass-backwards; gravity created our spherical earth in the first place, the earth eventually produced humans, and then humans invented god.

Gravity. Humph! You've got a lot to answer for...
I see no evidence for an intelligent designer. I see a whole lot of good-enough "designs", but little or no intelligence behind any of it.
Gravity is what is holding us on. Oh, and we are just tiny grains of sand in that roundabout anecdote.
Earth was formed by gravity, maybe even twice (if the hypothesis about a planet or moon crashing into Earth so badly that it was more or less smashed to pieces, and the pieces formed itself into Earth and the moon). Life then emerged from non-life (abiogenesis) and through evolution over about 3 billion years, humans emerged; the first animal stupid enough to invent religion, and designed a creator (or rather several, one for each religion).
Your anecdote is as "intelligent" as the one about the puddle finding itself in a hole somehow perfectly shaped for its shape.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
