Here's one to twist your brain then..

If you see the vast complexity and see that there has to be design behind it all, what do you have to compare with that leads you to that conclusion?

Usually you evaluate something based on criteria and parameters, but if EVERYTHING is designed, then there's nothing not-designed to compare with! You aren't even capable of imagining something not designed, because your entire existence is designed. So there's no criteria to evaluate based on.



(Personally I think things look designed as well, though not perfectly designed, just designed as if natural selection was the designer, designing things that are just good enough to compete.)
