this is pretty irrelevant.

Just because we might be able to become Intelligent Designers ourselves doesn’t mean one designed us.

It doesn’t mean one designed us, but it does give a precedent.

But in addition…even the most sophisticated, human-like program we could create would still be bound to the programming we’ve given it – a creation is not bound to all the same rules as it’s creator. If we’re the result of some form of ID, we’re bound to the rules it places on us, and those could be that the Designer doesn’t want us to acknowledge it’s existence.

I’ve heard somewhat convincing arguments that our existence is a highly-sophisticated hologram or computer program, or that we’re a kind of ‘test-tube’ for some other form of intelligence. I don’t believe them, but they certainly count as ID as well.
