Nope. Intelligent Design = the Zarke, who were designed by the Ganicci, who were designed by the Yolata, who.... and if the past runs on forever it never stops because it never starts.
On the other hand, if the Universe did start at some point, then it all traces back to the Quitlokee, who started when the Universe did: much more elegant than supposing an extra-Universal God who waited forever just to kick creation in the backside.
Mind you, I believe in God; I even believe that proof of the existence of God is easy. But 'Intelligent Design' ain't it.
So your point is??? God isn't intelligent enough to design the universe?
In case you missed it, here is an excerpt and link to a thread posted recently on FR.
Antony Flew, the 81-year-old British philosophy professor who taught at Oxford and other leading universities, became an atheist at age 15. Throughout his long career he argued—including in debates with an atheist-turned-Christian named C. S. Lewis—that there was a “presumption of atheism,” that is, the existence of a creator could not be proved.
But he’s now been forced to face the evidence. It comes from the Intelligent Design movement, led by Dr. Phillip Johnson and particularly the work of Michael Behe, the Lehigh biochemist who has proven the “irreducible complexity” of the human cell structure. Though eighty-one years old, Flew has not let his thinking fossilize, but has faithfully followed his own dictum to “go where the evidence leads.”
Flew told Habermas, “This is the creature, the evolution of which a truly comprehensive theory of evolution must give some account. Darwin himself was well aware that he had not produced such an account. It now seems to me that the findings of more than fifty years of DNA research have provided materials for a new and enormously powerful argument to design.”
