If arguments are going to be made for an "intelligent designer", why not an "intelligent design team". Can't the Designer delegate? What's the point of the Heavenly Host if not to do the Designer's bidding?
Like Santa's Workshop. So, in my view, any discussion of an Intelligent Designer has to include the probability of design groups and delegated functions. We've assigned every known human attribute to God, so why not his CEO abilities.
If you're going to jump off the cliff of absurdity, then make sure you've got a good running start.
