We do not know who the designer is.
We do not
need to know what the designer is. What my question concerned was what designed this designer? This is a valid question since the substance of the Intelligent design hypothesis is that the complexity of the world is what indicates that there is a designer.
Now this designer that is postulated is necessarily more complex than the world that intelligent design invokes to explain.
Therefore we need apply the same criteria to the designer in order to explain its existence to be consistent with the hypothesis.
Here now is where the difficulty lies. The arguement suffers from the inabilty to self limit and proceeds ad infinitum. No sooner are we able to postulate the designer than we need invoke a yet more complex designer, etc, etc, etc to maintain the validity of the arguement.
