The implication here is that anything that is nice and ordered must have
required intelligence to create.  This is not the case.  Look at crystals,
soap bubbles, craters, etc., etc.  These things all have an inherent order
and there are simple explanations for them which don't require any kind of
intelligence at all.  In fact, what would be more convincing in the favor of
some such "intelligence" is if soap bubbles WEREN'T round, given the laws
of nature.  An interesting book about how such seemingly ordered patterns
come about quite naturally is "Laws of the Game".  I don't remember who wrote
the book, but it is definitely worth reading.
