From the "why do I waste my time" file (read to the bottom for the "I'm not elitist" disclaimer)...
A suggestion:
1.) as a first step, try typing "design argument" into google.
2.) read and realize that what you are producing, if it is original thought at all, is incoherent crap.
3.) read some more. This is how real philosophers think.
4.) ponder.
5.) think some more.
6.) look at some of the other arguments/positions that are mentioned in the first ten pages of the google search post. They may not directly relate to design, i.e. Locke on property, etc.
7.) now, if you think that you can, make a decent argument.
It would be fine if you had realized that your original post fell short of its intent. If you hadn't made out your points to be absolute proof, I wouldn't be throwing real philosophy at you. It's fair to ponder such things without a grounding in philosophy; however, to assume that you are an authority is ludicrous. I couldn't even finish reading your post, as it was absolutely riddled with untested assumptions and incoherent statments. Nobody here would fault you for that if you could at least realize that you haven't quite got it figured out. Unfortunately, you insist on pushing the issue. Until you understand what real philosophy looks like, I fear that you will continue to make an ass of yourself.

But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
