Argument from design? Really? OK, assuming that you could somehow actually prove that life on earth was designed by a higher intelligence. Then what? Does that make Yahweh the one true god? What about Allah, Vishnu, Odin, Zeus, or any number of other gods which were once worshiped? How do you know the Raelian cult isn't correct and all life on earth was designed by aliens from other planets? Should I strap a bomb to myself and take out infidels, blow up an abortion clinic, persecute gays, or look for UFO's?
Argument from design doesn't even work anyway, because if you look at evolutionary theory it does a pretty good job at explaining how current life forms came to be. ID doesn't explain anything, but is solely bible-based creationism with attacks on evolution. And finally, all argument from design seems to be is using a god of the gaps explanation to fill in what we don't yet know about evolution.
I admit I don't know what the Kalam is.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
