Still think he is making an agnostic argument?
Maybe 'agnostic' is the wrong word for me to have used.
I think I should have said 'non-specific'.
Geno's intelligent designer has not shown any aspects that would require it to be a god.
(Sure - the designers would need to be more advanced than us,
but that does not make them gods.)
As an aside: I have never seen an argument that crosses the 'intelligent designer' -> 'god' divide.
It always falls at the "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" hurdle.
If it was proved/accepted that life on Earth was intentionally seeded/designed/front-loaded, that would still not be an argument for a deity.
Any claim that "design=god" is an
argumentum ad ignorantiam.
But I have yet to see Geno make that leap or even hint that he wants to.
