You think of God as this unfathomable complex reality, when He is actually the foundation. He is the base upon which all else can be made.
​
If God is the substrate, who is the real designer doing the building on Him?

An ifinite regress of causes?
​
Yes.
​
The topic (I think) is about Behe's gaffe in admitting that The Phantom Designer is actually a guy named "God".
​
You keep doing the same thing. You talk about God in a pantheistic way, you talk about an uncaused "Designer" and in the same breath you quote the Bible.
​
The question is: Where do you draw the line between what is caused and what is not? How do you know that the Biblical God is the infered "Designer"? How can you, looking up from down here, know how many layers of design and designer are above you?
