Very quickly, if there is a God in the model of the omnipotent etc, then that disqualifies all of them to the best of my knowledge but the Biblical God and Allah.Colonel Sun wrote: Which god and/or gods were involved in the "intelligent design"?
The ancient Mesopotanian gods? The ancient Egyptian gods? The ancient Greek gods? The ancient Mayan and Aztec gods?
The Zoroastrian god? The Abrahamic god? The Hindu gods? The Shinto kami? Countless indigenous-folk gods?
Was an intelligent design committee appointed?
Meeting under the auspices of the UD, the United Deities.

Thousands of years ago, the earliest Biblical figures began using a word that emerged in Hebrew as "Elyown", that being the "the most HIGH God", that is a god who held all power.
Interesting to me that 4000 years ago there was already an answer to this question, from goatherders and hunter gathers.
Let me know your thoughts.
