That sort of question generally gets the reply along the lines of;
"AH! The 'Super' Designer is ulta special and so nothing we can know about said thing need apply..... Like pesky things such as 'Beggings', 'Middles' or 'Ends'. The Super Designer is just 'Other' that way, honest."
Creationists who haven't studied evolution sometimes ask "oh yeah, if people evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys? (check mate, atheist!)" The question reveals that they haven't studied the subject.
The questions "what caused the first cause?" or "who designed the designer?" are the equivalents in the field of theology. They show that the person asking doesn't understand the argument.
To be fair to atheists who don't understand theology, though, it's true that the majority of Christians don't understand it either. They are using a children's-level Sunday School version, and a lot of atheists assume that's all there is.
It's frustrating. It's like hearing an Ayn Randian and a Creationist debate Darwin, and neither one knows what they're talking about.
