The coming into existence of my laptop would not occur unless there was an intellect.Moreover the design argument rests on the statistical improbably of a random origin. Calculating the exact odds is impossible but nearly everyone agrees, skeptics included, that the chance is orders of magnitude above astronomical. The most common way around this is to propose a multi verse. The problem with that is that that solution is highly unparsimonious. It posit a infinite number of universes when a single god works just fine.
In this forum there are numerous examples of discussions between intellects. These discussion are events that could not exist without intellects. Some events are dependent on intellects and cannot be explained otherwise.
An infinite number of universes is less parsimonious than a single creator god because we can demonstrate, objectively, the existence of exactly one universe and zero creator gods.
