creation as evidence of a creator.

Seems to me like this is excellent evidence for a creator, the scientific community has in my opinion in recent years been moving towards proof of god ! I have over the years read theories that sound like the vedas and various other hindu religious beliefs. Personally i have always believed in a creator, i have always found it absurd that people believe everything happened by chance ! It's a copout, the evidence is stacking up more and more. Im delighted that science is finding this out. Atheists used to say there is no god ! that scientific proof is against it, now that more and more scientists are leaning towards god they just say that the scientists are wrong!!! You cant have it both ways! What maybe annoys these people is that they see corrupt religions on earth and somehow blame god, well the religions are a construct of human minds and emotions. The fact is some of them couldnt be further away from the truth (god). Also i say to people who say god doesnt exist...where is your proof ? Just by your very existence you are living proof ! You are trying to deny yourself.

The Islands are the product of Universal laws, who created those laws?

But we have evidence suggesting something intelligent.
Second line.
your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief

The arguments the OP is making are self-refuting and fallacious. Particularly bothersome to me is trying to conflate manmade laws with natural ones. A natural law merely describes the way that nature behaves, that's all it is, we humans are the reason it is called a law and had we decided to call it something else the OP wouldn't be able to make such a weak argument to begin with
Since there is no instance of laws coming to existence without intelligence, and thousands of instances of laws coming to existence through intelligence, we come to one conclusive conclusion, an intelligent creator.

Laws of nature is laws, just like the laws we have created, they are both laws, protocols, what ever you want to call them.
Logically since there is no instance of a law coming to existence through means other than intelligence, makes us conclude that _________??
Duuhhh..
You are just playing with words now, never thought Atheist/Agnostics would come to that situation.

No.
The existence of something does not mean that something was created via intelligence. Take an island for instance, an island can be created with no intelligent intervention. I was formed in the womb with no intelligent intervention, just a biological process happening automatically (not consciously). Simply because some things are created does not mean all things are created. Without evidence there is no good reason to believe in a Creator and, as I explained, the existence of something is not evidence of a creator.

"1. We have laws which have intelligent origins (communication protocols etc).
2. We have laws which have unknown origins (natural laws).
3. We have absolutely no laws which have come to existence without intelligence. "
Since there is no instance of laws coming to existence without intelligence, and thousands of instances of laws coming to existence through intelligence, we come to one conclusive conclusion, an intelligent creator.
If you change the above sentence:
Since there is no instance of laws coming to existence without intelligence, and thousands of instances of laws coming to existence through intelligence, we come to one conclusive conclusion, no intelligent creator.
If you claim there is no intelligent creator behind the creation of such laws, you are using the GAP argument, because you will be using number 2 as your evidence to support your claim that an intelligence wasn't behind the creation of such laws, because we don't know what was (the trap of the GAP).
Get it?
