That was also was what Albert Einstein said about his beliefs. That the working universe of the universe was set up so complex that it made sense to think it was all created by an intelligence
I'm not against it (it makes absolutely no sense to be against something out of principle that could be true), it's just that
1. there is no reason to believe that it is true. There are arbitrarily many propositions which could be true but are unproven, and the only way to
not believe an infinite amount of nonsense is to reject such propositions. call it Occam's Razor, call it Bayes Theorem, or call it common sense, the result is the same:
we should not believe that such an intelligent designer exists unless there is real evidence for it.
2. it doesn't solve your problem but only removes it one step further. An intelligence which sets up our world in such a systematic way itself requires, according to your premise, the same explanation again as the world itself.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
