G-d has no intelligence. A Deistic view of G-d and creation would not even require a designer of the universe just a creator. The universe could of been made without a plan and done in a random way. But the existence of the universe would still need a first cause who is not a material being because material cannot create other material from nothing.
That didn't address my point. Why give the name 'god' to a random and natural process, whether or not it is material in origin? It seems like an unnecessary and ornamental title to something we have absolutely no capacity to understand. much less describe, right now, and to what end? Calling it 'god' does not help reveal this mystery. All it does is legitimize the injection of religious phraseology into this discussion without justification.
