(These 'laws' by the way are another 'sign post' pointing towards intelligence (for me anyway)). I don't follow the rest of your reasoning. He is the Law Maker. He 'sets' the boundarys, ingredients of space, matter, time and hence these laws.What I mean is if God is a law maker, he would have had to make those laws without using them to make it. Because they weren't made yet. So he would have had to go against natural laws to make natural laws. So he must be supernatural not natural. He is the biggest and most improbable miracle of all miracles. Especially if he can create miracles and he's not just a deist God! Its more likely that the laws existed in the first place than a creator created them by going against them. He is much more complex and improbable than the laws themselves.
