 It doesn't *takes off your sunglasses* really matter.

I always ask the "Everything looks designed" people what a non-designed universe would look like. I never get an answer. Like you say, we have nothing to compare to. People just keep making the fallacy of composition by looking at things inside the universe designed by other things inside the universe and trying to apply that to the universe as a whole.

For the most part, they actually know that they are misusing the scientific principle of uniformitarianism. It only functions inside our universe, and says diddly-squat about other universes or anything outside of our own. It isn't so much that they don't have an answer, because they have one they have already assumed as absolute truth, they just know it isn't convincing to anyone outside their gaggle of the intentionally gullible.
I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.

If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.

The problem with the God thing is that people want the God creature to be all things.  The creator of the universe.  A babbler who spent centuries paling around with a bunch of Middle Eastern goat ropers and homicidal maniacs like Moses.  A zombie who is going to save their worthless souls.  A crazed killed who has a zoo full of weird creatures that they will spend eternity with in some fancy golden cube.  

Frankly I think that they are all bat shit crazy but that's just me.
