Never saw the book, but heard exactly same arguments from some
everyday folks I know : Gee, it's just too complicated, there
must be intelligence befind it! 
I kind of thought about it. That does not constitute a proof,
but can not be ignored either. Suppose there is intelligence
behind it. It is of quality far superior to ours. It must be
VERY complicated (intricate logic, memory, real ingenuity, talk
about attention to detail!). Too complicated to develop all by
itself. There must be some intelligence behind it! There must also
be ...
You know what I mean. 
Anyway, what do I know? The book's author is obviously following
in the shaky footsteps of Descartes, Leibniz, Berkeley, etc.
Proving it. Maybe he's right. But what REALLY interests us
is:
   which cult does that intelligence REALLY endorse?
   what should we follow to get salvation? (or die forever, whatever)

Being a Christian philosopher he is probably writing another book
proving that this intelligence and Bible's God are same thing.
                  Now that's HARD!
                       Good reading to you
