What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?

So is your multiverse

Ok, first of all it's not my multiverse. Second, your bizarre tu quoque/red herring hybrid reply makes no sense as a grammatical run-on from my post. Third and more importantly, it may surprise you to know that I am not actually convinced by talk of a multiverse, and I do not in fact think it is necessary ultimately to account for the Universe as we experience it. Of course, I do not claim the expertise in this field to propose MVT as a viable and necessary proposition as you clearly do to be able to dismiss it in four words. On the other hand and by the same token, regarding the design alternative that you propose, I do not need to be an expert to dismiss it as unfalsifiable since you yourself have already described it as such. This is demonstrably the case, as otherwise you would be able to point to this deigner, or at least present a method by which ID might identify it (the predictive capability you mentioned) as I have asked you on at least two occasions.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
