If we accept follow the logic of ID's irreducible complexity we are forced to face the conclusion that God himself requires a creator or designer too.

It is the simplest and most devastating argument and is dodged by sophistry.
And thats all you will get by way of an answer in the following posts.

Perhaps...most of the time, this is answered by the definition of an "eternal" god: without beginning sans fin. The divinity requires no creator as it has no beginning to come from, no start point.
Actually, this sounds like next weeks humanities lecture. Bravo.

Actually, no. And this question is not new. It was addressed centuries ago.
If the creature/person we refer to as "god" is so complex, that he/she/it actually requires (or had) a creator, then that c/p is not by nature "god". The term "god" can really only be applied to the One Original Being, needing no creation, for in he/she/it we find all of life and all of life's mysteries. Whatever is the ultimate source of life and existence for the universe, is God. If we find ourselves worshipping something created, we find ourselves worshipping something other than God.
Really quite simple.

Bible has the answer. God had no beginning and has no end.
