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.
Many Christians would say that the "fall of man" is why we feel pain and experience death and such.
