Why is a \"designer\" so compelling? (The nature of a \'Creator\')

We can think UP a creator, but everything about this creator is unknowable. We can't apply any known tool to its properties, we can't apply things such as parsimony and rigorous logic to such an extent that we can call it studyable. - The reason for suggesting a designer is that so much of our reality looks designed. Is there absolute proof that all schemes and mechanisms are designed? No, but we all recognize design when we see it. There is the real dilemma. - As the famous quote from a justice of the Supreme court: I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it.
