The question is: is it more reasonable that this is an intelligence or unintelligence? I think that it is more reasonable to think it is an intelligence. Nobody wins in the infinite regress, but I think the naturalists/atheists are in a slightly worse position.
Nope. Sorry, buddy. This still leaves you with either infinite regress or special pleading.
If something outside of space and time is required in order to create space and time itself, then something outside of the designer should have to create the designer, and something outside of that creator should have to create it, and so on. We're back at infinite regress.
If Gaud is the only thing that does not require a cause outside of itself, that is once again special pleading.
Thinking it's "more reasonable" to believe the Causeless Cause is intelligent rather than unintelligent is merely an unsupported argument from incredulity. Without good evidence, it's rarely useful to choose to believe one thing over another.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
