I am sorry, but this logic fails for the same reason the claim of an All Powerful, always existing god fails.
If humans are a product of a "programmer" then what created that programmer, and what created that programmer. Infinite regress applies, I don't care if one is claiming a god, or some si fi version of a invisible cognition. Both beg the question.
If ifs and butts were candy and nuts, I'd be dating Angelina Jolie.
Christopher Hitchens, " That which can be asserted without evidence, can just as easily be dismissed without evidence."
I don't like seeing well intended people who rightfully reject the anthropomorphic human projections of gods of antiquity try to replace the old claims with si fi claims.
If one rightfully rejects the human like gods of antiquity then it makes no sense to try to replace those claims with "we have some invisible super programmer". It is just a si fi version of old mythology.
