If the earth were too close to the sun, we'd be a fire ball. Too far away, we'd be an ice ball. Is this just another unexplained phenom or is this proof that there is an intelligent designer? (God)

What are the chances of us hitting a "Universal lottery? You'd probably say, "The same chance that there is an intelligent designer!"

Luck.
Consider how many other bodies there are in our solar system alone. Notice that none of them have life. (Save Earth, and possibly some microbes on a moon in Jupiter or Saturn.)
Now consider, the size of the universe. If this was the only planet in the universe with life, that would not be a sign of intelligent design would it, especially when you consider what an incredible waste of space that would be.
Next, consider how violent it is for a solar system to form. We hit the universal lottery.

In this universe, there are lots of planets. I mean lots and lots. Heck, our own little sun has 10, and there are 1 billion billion stars in the observable universe.
Most of the planets in the universe are too hot or too cold for life to form. But there are likely to be an awful lot that are just fine for supporting life. Only on those planets are there likely to be creatures speculating whether they were created by God.
So, the fact that we are sitting on a planet that is the right temperature is not a coincidence. Nor is it evidence of a Divine Hand.

Intelligent design or creationist's view of how the universe is created is a load of nonsense.
Just because we do not fully grasp how each individual pieces of the universe is created, that does not mean this is all an unexplained phenomenon.

Your belief says PROOF. Take a look at the beauty of Saturn's rings. Just an accident?
Of course, we would not be here if earth was too close or too far. So on the premise of an accident; we are very good accidents.
Good luck, you "extraordinary accident". Isn't life a grand gift?

How come this question is on science category and you still consider the possibility of an intelligent designer?

The ease with which we are finding extrasolar planets suggests that planets are common. There are probably hundreds of billions of them in just our galaxy.
Don Brownlee, in his book "Rare Earth", points out that many things must be just right for a planet to support life: type of star, makeup of the planetary system, position in the galaxy, etc. Most of those hundreds of billions of planets will be uninhabitable. So why do you suppose it took God so many tries to get it right?

The question is really interesting.
I'll answer it a God's work that God made only earth as the planet where millions of species of life live.
In no other known planet there is life.
Rest is your own perception.

Then one could counter that with George Bush. That doesn't look like intelligent design.

It proves that there is a God. Even if it was a cincidence the odds are 1 to 1,000,000,000,000,000
