If you believe that intelligence requires a designer and that the designer is not God, then who or what designed the intelligent designer? Or is an infinite regress of designers an acceptable idea? Additionally, you only address my point that ID implies perfection. You don't address my point that evolution does not imply perfection. That still stands even if my argument about ID is false.
You've left out a very vast middle ground, including all of life on Earth. Above you will find a post of mine that spells out some of the assumptions you have to make in order to get to this point.
Ultimately, you are saying that "There Is No God." That's all well and good, but it's not a scientific position.

It's not a necessary idea, so I see no point in arguing for or against it.

There's no need to address it -- I have no problem with it. My goal on this thread is merely to highlight the unfounded and incompletely considered assumptions being made by allegedly "scientific" people on this thread.
