Wait! I have the solution to this problem. We were all originally designed
by designer 0 in time t. designer 0 was designed by designer 1 in time t/2.
And so on. We thus avoid having to make the unconvincing explanation that
the designer (god?) always existed (for then why couldn't the universe
always have existed). At the same time, we have a finite time in past
history for the origin of everything, before which there was nothing!
