Aye

For example, if the designer is an alien biological species, then I would immediately ask who designed them. However, if the designer is an eternal omnipotent being, then I don't think we can ask who designed it.
Aye, there's the rub...the rub that exposes the ID agenda. The ambiguity is deliberate and dissembling. One wonders if lies can profitably be told in the service of truth.
If the designer is a deity, then ID is merely Creationism in a stolen lab coat; if the designer is not a deity, then ID answers nothing.
We can narrow the ID implications further. Not all gods are described as eternal: only the God of the Book can put a stopper in the infinite regression of designers; a god could be a Younger God, a Lesser God, an elevated mortal, all subject to queries about their designers.
The ID ambiguity is a Trojan Horse. I wonder if God is pleased with their deception. Is this how Yahweh conquers? Tarted up like a...theory.

Re: Missing links
Verywell said. This is why frogs stay as frogs and do not evolve into anything else. Thanks for proving that macroevolution does not occur..
Don't be intentionally thick. It isn't necessary.
The evidence for evolution lies in tracing how frogs came to be frogs, not in speculation about whether speciation will produce something else.
