A babbler who spent centuries paling around with a bunch of Middle Eastern goat ropers and homicidal maniacs like Moses. A zombie who is going to save their worthless souls. A crazed killed who has a zoo full of weird creatures that they will spend eternity with in some fancy golden cube.
I always ask the "Everything looks designed" people what a non-designed universe would look like. I never get an answer. Like you say, we have nothing to compare to. People just keep making the fallacy of composition by looking at things inside the universe designed by other things inside the universe and trying to apply that to the universe as a whole.
Frankly I think that they are all bat shit crazy but that's just me.
