< The question of the role of intelligence in the design of the universe is distinct from that of the role of intelligence in particular creatures. >

Absolutely.

But there is no logical necessity to suggest pattern or complexity are the handywork of an Intelligent Designer either? It is a leap of faith in which you have taken.

If this is the reasoning behind an Intelligent Designer Hypothesis, how does anyone reconcile the difference between the chaotic, sub-atomic world versus the more complex, macroscopic world? Is there an Intelligent Designer only capable of governing the macroscopic, complex world (pattern, complexity, ergo intelligent design) versus no Intelligent Designer governing the sub-atomic world (chaos, unpredictability, ergo no intelligent design). So there may or may not be Intelligent Design depending on whether we are describing the microscopic or macroscopic world. Do you not see the absurdity in this logic?

The Intelligent Design Hypothesis is filled with flaws.
