Can the existence of an intelligent designer be proved by language, and Math, since these can only come from a mind?

No, it cannot. These things only prove man can use his intellect to formulate methods to calculate and to communicate with each other. This does not suggest origins of human intelligence, but represents the product(s) of applying our intelligence. 

Put more simply, does bacon prove pigs (or butchers) were made by a designer, or that a designer exists?

Yes. (In very Boolean terms).

You do not need to "see" pi, in the same way that you cannot see the wavelength of elementary particles (or even necessarily understand why a particle is sometimes also a wave.) It just is that way.........

If that were true ... We would all speak the same language and have the same alphabet.  But the Cryllic alphabet looks nothing like the Latin alphabet ... And neither look anything like Arabic or Asian alphabets.

btw - The Pope just said that "intelligent design" and "creationism" are fallacies.

There is NO evidence of "intelligent design". If you doubt it - present your evidence to a scientific, peer-reviewed publication. Every atheist would instantly convert to any religion following such a PROVEN belief.

So is math objective or subjective?

I am not asking you to convert to a religion, or even believe in a God.

So Charles you believe that Math exists in the world, not just subject to man's mind? You believe Math is objective, not subjective?

Math can be either, depending on how it is being used. twisting numbers to fit is subjective, to use it with the right formula it's objective.
