The intentional design, I believe, rests at a higher level, one of mathematics.

Why is mathematical order designed ? Isn't this just the ID position regressed a couple levels? Why is it not just "what is", so that the felt resonance between the mind and the elegance of an equation is simply the affinity between "what is" and "what is"? In other words, an identity?

But, gosh, Tim, that doesn't work...we've just transposed the question. Why does the mind feel an affinity between some things and not others? There is order, and the mind is order. But that begs the question. So maybe the question is...out of order. But, then, why does the mind ask it? If the question of order is a tautology, then those minds which don't ask it are superior (more functional in the natural order).

Is this what we observe?
