The intelligibility of the world and the effictiveness of reason have EVERYTHING to do with the argument. The underlying assumption of the thought problem is that there can even be some kind of world without God. It assumes that you can get mathematics, physics, consciousness, and a rationally ordered universe for free i.e. that it is possible for there to be something rather than nothing without God. I'm not even willing to grant you the premise of the dumb little thought problem (that a world without God is possible)...the thought problem you got from Richard Carrier.
