1)Complexity does not imply design.
2)Tho even there was Intelligent Design, that does not prove the existence of God.
Voltaire said:
"From this one argument, I cannot conclude anything more, except that it is probable that an intelligent and superior being has prepared and shaped matter with dexterity; I cannot conclude from this argument alone that this being has made the matter out of nothing or that he is infinite in any sense (i.e. that he is God)".
3)If everything has to have a designer, who designed God?
4)Incoherence. George H.Smith states in his book, Atheism: The Case Against God:
"to claim that nature as a whole was designed is to destroy the basis by which we differentiate between artifacts and natural objects. Evidences of design are those characteristics not found in nature, so it is impossible to produce evidence of design within the context of nature itself".
