You are proof that ID is false. There is no intelligence in your design.
And if our species is the best that an "infinitely intelligent" designer can do....haha, oh wow. Well that would be just plain pathetic. The rate for birth defects is about 1 in 33. 97% success rate. Our manufacturing methods strive for 6-sigma or higher, for a 99.9997% success rate. That failure rate alone would seem to say that this creator is certainly not all powerful or all knowing, and in fact has created a product with some serious technical flaws. Even if there aren't problems at birth, genetic flaws can occur later on, manifested as cancer.
Yeah yeah, it's all because of original sin and us getting tossed out of Eden. That load of BS is a whole other paradoxical can'o'worms.
And then there's my sig (for those who block them):
"I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence." - Doug McLeod
At one time, God was responsible for lightning. Why isn't that still true? Did religion have to *gasp*
evolve in the face of science? Why would God smite His own houses of worship, as he seems to do on a fairly consistent basis?
