It’s not just “intelligent” design, there is a moral component to the design of the universe, including the design of human beings.

So the creator of DNA exercised some sort of moral judgment in that creation, selecting one path over others as the way to create a design that had not only intelligent function, but which functioned morally as well.

Therefore, the creator perforce has a superior moral capacity to his creation. And, obviously, superior power.

What is your definition of a god, for starters?

"What is your definition of a god, for starters?"

I'm willing to stipulate any definition for the purposes of discussion.

If one sees intelligent design in our DNA, and therefore reasons that we were made by a creator, then why must this take the form of a supernatural god? At least as plausible, this creator could be a super intelligent race of aliens.

And, if you want to extend beyond the original question of how we came into existence, you would naturally then ask who made the aliens. Well, perhaps the aliens evolved through a completely natural process.

Just because the aliens designed us, does not then logically mean that god created the aliens.
