So how about the Designer some postulate? The Designer did not have a designer, despite his unmistakable complexity. If the Designer can come about without the aid of a designer, why not everything else?
Here it does not matter whether the Designer has always been or not - he did not have a designer and is quite complex, proving that even very complex things do not need a designer.
How can you continue to use the "it's too complex" argument in light of this fact?

Given the almost infinite number of planets in the cosmos, the probability of life happening 'randomly' as it has here is actually fairly significant.
The odds may be astronomical when taken in the context of one planet, but taken over the staggeringly huge cosmos, the odds become a lot more reasonable.
It's only complex because we have a limited understanding of how it all happened. This lack of knowledge is no reason to suppose the existence of a god, and it is ridiculous to make a shoddy patch-up of one gap of knowledge with a less plausible explanation.
The way you have used god to invalidate the 'neccessity' of intelligent design is an elegant and economical argument. Congratulations.

Take a piece of clay, place it on a pottery plate, and leave it alone. What happens? Nothing right? That is why all material things need a designer and speak of a designer just by their existence. God, the designer and creator of all things, didn't need a designer because He is perfect in all His ways; perfectly God, perfect creator, perfectly hear from before the beginning, and perfectly everlasting. What human mind could come up with that?

We try to describe God with the inadequate language of humanity and even the word omnipotent cannot fully describe God,so how can we imagine that we can pin a label on God either?
If we could fully understand how indeed God always was and always will be then we too would be Gods,we are finite creatures and God is infinite.
