I have been wondering how this is explained: for a designer to exist at all, some of the very laws and aspects of nature you say are designed would have to already exist.
And the cliche - where did that designer come from and what laws of nature were used to bring it into being?
Discuss.

The concept of intelligent design is a man made fabrication to explain the unknown and unknowable. People fear most what they do not understand. Give them something to believe as explanation and they redirect their fears to other things that they cannot comprehend. Give them a leader to show them the way, the more comfortable and secure they feel. That's why much of the Bible is taught comic book style with cliff notes and whatever the preacher says is considered right by those who cannot think for themselves.

The theory of the intelligent designer is an attempt by (mostly) Christians to show their faith as scientific fact. It uses the words "intelligent designer" to insert God into science.
As to whether there is an intelligent designer, the only "proof" is the complexity of organisms and structures in the universe. It is proposed that such complexity could not have originated by chance. To those who do not believe in a God, no "proof" will likely be sufficient. To those do, proof of evolution, chaos theory, Quantum mechanics, or any other understanding of the universe will all fail to disuade them from their beliefs.
The Christian God has been called the "uncaused cause", saying that he is beyond time and space. He was not caused, did not 'come from anything'. He always was and always will be. That though, completely sidesteps the question of ultimate origin. My final answer is 'I don't know'.

That's where you see, some thing super-brilliant, super-natural, in existence.. we call him God and feel the whole of creation is tied up in responsibility to follow his moral laws..

who says anything had to exist for God to make it out of nothing? didn't Jesus create food for 3000 people out of 3 fish and like 2 pieces of bread? he's God, anything is possible. And God always has been, i don't know how.

my assumption is that you think this was the first creation. Open that mind a little further. Never read that this was the first and much evedence points out that it was not even the first creation on this planet.
