My intention was to suggest (1) ... that is if any designers actaully exist they were of such low complexity that they could easily come-about by natural processes.
However, if something of low complexity can create something of greater complexity, then we don't need a designer at all.
When I mentioned simple rules I also pointed out thet they could have arisen naturally.
But here's the rub ... if we conclude (1):
The designers were sufficiently simple to arise naturally.
They could design entities more complex than themselves.
Those entities could design entities more complex than themselves.
Etc.
We could separate ID from the origin and set it purely as an alternative to evolution.
In which case ID would (in my opinion) fall over for a whole other set of reasons.
