...so the structure itself doesn't tell you whether the thing was constructed with intelligent design.

Ah, but that is exactly what ID theory says - that you can infer design purely from the structure of a thing, without any other knowledge other than of the inherent properties of the thing itself.

But I take it you're likely to be rather skeptical of that claim ;)

I find the claim that you can tell that God made things just by looking at them mystifying.

But then, I find everything about the Prime Mover mystifying.

We know the Universe exists, but where did the Universe come from?

If God created the Universe, who created God? And the argument that God always was, and always will be isn't very satisfying.

It's a variation on the "turtles all the way down" argument.

It gives me a headache every time I try to think about it. My brain is too small to comprehend, so I just accept the fact that I can't understand it, and just appreciate it.

I will say that Intelligent Design strikes me as sort of a logical fallacy. The people who argue it already believe in God. So naturally they see God's hand at work in the natural world.

But there is no science involved in it, just belief.
