No. I am suggesting a cause that is more likely than any other.

Why is this cause more likely than any other?

Since it is the essence of intelligent design to create and organize matter, it stands to reason that where there is organized matter, intelligent design may be involved.

You are attempting to argue that because a process "may" have occured it is reasonable to believe that the process did occur. That is not a logical inference.

Because it is the nature of intelligent design to organize matter in such a way as to be intelligible, consistent, and functional, just they way the physical universe in my neighborhood happens to be.

No. I am attempting to argue that because a process "may" have occurred it is reasonable to believe that it may have occurred. Not only so, but intelligent design most certainly does occur, and every time it does, the result is organized matter that performs specific functions.
