The fundamental premise of the "Theory" of Intelligent Design is that certain features of living organisms are too complex to have evolved without the direct intervention of an intelligent designer.
I'm sorry, but this theory doesn't pass the smell test. If this "designer" is so intelligent, why does shit stink? In an intelligently designed world, it seems to me, turds would smell like lilacs.
And why did He intelligently design childhood leukemia?
What prompted Him (or Her) to create kidney stones and athlete's foot?
Why was yellow fever designed to kill adults and spare children? In other words, why was it designed specifically to create orphans? Is the Intelligent Designer a pedophile? And for that matter, why did He intelligently design pedophilia in the first place?
What higher purposes are served by hemorrhoids and rectal warts?
Perhaps the Intelligent Designer wanted to immortalize his Uncle Parkinson and his Aunt Alzheimer.
I'm sure you see my point: the guy just doesn't seem very bright.
Maybe our Intelligent Designer finished last in his class at the Intelligent Design Academy. Perhaps in other far-off galaxies, there are humanoids whose pregnancies always end happily, and whose language has no word for "quadriplegic" because their spines are designed, intelligently, to be snap-proof.
It figures. We Earthlings get screwed again.
