As I recently learned, as an argument from design is an analogy which demonstrates *only* the possibility of a designer and nothing more, and not necessarily 'a creator', this argument fails to demonstrate the existence of the specific godly thing you are trying to prove exists. Human designers work with pre-existing materials to 'create' new things all the time. That Leonardo da Vinci 'designed' the Mona Lisa says nothing about who provided the paint he used to paint it with. Even if I grant the existence of a designer on this basis, ex hypothesi, it does not get you to a creator god.
Since you need to prove both a) a designer, and b) that designer is also the creator, then you have just,
I proved the creator in the other thread
Your problems is that you want God to spoon feed you his existence, then even if that happen you can ask to make you do right as well
