My counter is that we humans are very poorly designed: We eat and breath down the same tube, we feel excess amounts of pain, we die after less than 115 years, our eyes can go blind etc etc so how could something all powerful have created us? Something with limited power almost certainly created us therefore. However this thing of limited power doesn't have a brain/neurons so almost certainly has less power than a human. How could this theist God create a universe? It makes most sense that something of limited power - nature - created us.

Because thought comes from the brain/neurons. There is no evidence that it can come from something/somewhere else. But again my counter to my own argument is that God is all powerful. See above.
Ah I see where you are going, interesting take to say the least, I am curious to what a theist's reason to our seemingly poor design is, most of what I have heard is they think animals are created very well but examples like the Laryngeal nerve in a giraffe show that is not the case, no engineer would make that nerve take the route it does.
God loves you unconditionally.
