We live in a universe amenable to investigation. That a being capable of that investigation should arise strikes me not so much of evidence of design, but precisely what we should expect from natural selection.
Organisms evolve to fit their environment, and to adapt to changes in that environment: fishes in freshwater caves evolve to a lack of eyes; animals on savannahs evolve distance vision. Human beings evolve investigative abilities, because we need to be able to investigate the universe.
Had the universe been deliberately designed, and humans deliberately designed to investigate it, it seems that the investigation would have concluded millennia ago.
Why you, via Hobbes, seem to be advocating is really no different that typical creationist rhetoric which boils down to, 'I cannot understand this, therefore God is responsible for it.'
