It just comes back to "Who designed the designer?" "Is it an a superintelligent alien with amazing technology capable of deceiving us?" "Are we living in a simulation?" problem.
Ultimately, and this is germane to our new friends post above..it doesn't matter whether or not "god" has a designer. If there is a god (and let;s just imagine he has no contingencies and he;s super duper powerful and interacts with our world)...that;s still not how we got here. If we live in a world in which the proposition "god exists" is true., that doesn't change the fact that we also live in a world where there are facts of biology.
Other believers can reconcile their god stories with the facts of biology, I rate it no higher than a personal tick of specific people when they fail to do so.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter. It's still not "God" if the designer evolved naturally or if the designer itself had a designer.
It's not about being pragmatic. It's about being accurate. For all intents and purposes it may as well be deemed "God" but that's not the same thing as it actually being God. A being outside the universe is not something that there can ever be any empirical evidence of.
