If a "god" exist and, if all things that exist in created existance do so by the "will of god" then, by whatever means god might have decided to utilize, and if such is best understood as "intellgient design" then yes, god must have intellgiently designed and planned flatulance, i.e., god deliberately conceived, designed and created the common "fart".
There are a lot of "ifs" in the supostition and if any of them are called to doubt then the whole thing must, logically, fall apart.
As a Buddhist, and not believing in the existance of a "god", as in a supreme deity, etc., this one thinks that faltulance is simply cause and effect (you eat "beans" ergo you "toot"), where one must accept the responsibility and consequences of one's actions.
This is also one of the most enjoyable questions that this one has ever seen posted on the web. You deserve many extra points for originality, wit and a great sense of humor. Thank you very much.
May it all be well with you.

First of all, if you're going to be a smart-aleck, spell your words correctly... F-L-A-T-U-L-E-N-C-E.
The answer is 'absolutely'. We'd all be walking time bombs without it.
The question you don't ask, but I think you imply, is this: If a god is supposed to be highly intelligent and perfect, why is there something like the obvious imperfection we know as 'smelly farts'?
The answer for that is that God designed and created a perfect world, but disobedience by man (Adam) created a state of imperfection. Others signs of an imperfect world: cynicism, denial of the existence of God, mortality.
Imperfections in a designed system don't point to the absence of a designer. They point to the need to fix whatever is wrong. In the case of humanity, what's wrong is our relationship with God. You have to figure out how to fix that. (Here's a hint: John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17)
Every machine points back to an inventor. Every work of art points back to an artist. Every organism on earth points back to an Intelligent Designer.
Sorry if this reply comes off the wrong way because I really do hope, in your obvious quest for some answers to life's ultimate questions, that you will find--and choose to believe--the Way, the Truth, the Life.

After having designed the dino-fart, you'd expect him to be quickly bored with human farting. Especially for a top design like us humans which are highly intelligent and with such great imagination, even things like religion can emerge. But on the other hand, we are made in his image, so he must be farting many times a day too. I hope he doesn't like union soup too much. Or is god's methane recycled to fire up hell? Would be a nice question for Q&A.

There's a book by Scott Adams, the Dilbert guy, called "God's Debris." He argues some pretty intense philosophies. But in the sequel, there is the question, "if God is so smart, why do you fart?" You'd think that the all-knowing creator would come up with a more pleasant way to dispel gas.

Well..it's pretty efficient, either designed by Evolution or by God.
Like Eddie Izzard, I wonder why He intelligently designed the dance bees do to tell other bees where the honey is.
He also intelligently designed intersexed creatures with two sex organs and one or two asexual species...that could have saved a lot of trouble.

Not very. Especially not in cattle and sheep, whose daily methane output now threatens our planet.

Certainly. He was looking forward to our learning how to bottle the gas and use it for fuel.
