There could be a higher level intentionality going on behind the scenes to bring things together the way they are, but I definitely don't think there must have been. Do you? It seems once again we start from a different hunch regarding what we can't verify. I strongly doubt any higher order intentionality is required. I could be wrong about that but I feel it is highly unlikely. I can conceive of a natural god arising in consciousness right along side our sense of self. That would fit with a number of phenomena, including supporting the wide spread appeal of god belief. But how could such a natural god have anything to do with cosmos creation?
God always has been and always will be, just like our true selves. I appreciate your honesty and flexibility, but God has been proven to me beyond any and all doubt, so I am looking at things from a very different perspective.
Still repeating your unsupported assertions I see.

So then you're not really a theist, I see. If you have proof, you need no faith. You're the only theist on the planet who doesn't need faith. How bizarre.
An omnipotent deity could have created a race of robot universe makers .... and this would suffice to plug in your god-gap.
A "designer" could be anyone on the design chain.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
