In fact, my comments presuppose no such thing. God does not
exist now. The universe is not only His creation but is God
himself. The universe, all matter/energy, all reality, is 
the Body of God. God now is unconscious and will not regain
consciousness until the End of Time when He reassembles into
the Single Thing He is. (But time is only a human illusion.)

There is no "evidence" about the "design" of the universe.
Any "designs" exist only in the human imagination and have
nothing to do with God or reality.

No human arguments prove anything about reality, and to quote
others is a logical fallacy, an appeal to authority. The
arguments of Moses have equal validity to those of Mill.
