Intelligent Design

Well, intelligent design is in the news again.
What is intelligent design?, I say, something that is designed
intelligently. If you design a car intelligently you should be able
to use it for 10 to 20 years safely without a recall, a baby bed
designed intelligently will be used and will not harm babies.
These people who promote intelligent design say that the earth
and life are evidence of intelligent design.
Are: hurricanes, tsunamis, wildfires, earthquakes, volcanos and
killer asteroids evidence of intelligent design? Where is the future
safe use?, I think this world is in need of an eminent recall.
But then life is so complicated that it must be the product of
intelligent design. Here we go again: Thousands of genetic disorders,
viruses, prions, pathogenic bacteria, meltal illness, war, hate,
bigotry, need I say more. Life has as many problems as the earth.
You will probably have design problems your entire life.
( I've had a bad back for 45 years)
Obviously there is no evidence here of intelligent design because
there is no evidence of planning for safe future use, and definitely
no evidence of an infallible super being.

Evolution vs ID and Hurricane

Here is an interesting reductio ad absurdum I thought of while
reading a Bio-chemistry book yesterday:

I once read, in an Ecology book, of a species of fish where the
female of the species had to mate with a male of another species
before it could be receptive to a male of its own species.

In an evolutionary world the explanation would be: At some time
in the past this strategy enhanced the survival of this species and
the practice has survived.

In an Intelligent Design world the explanation would be:
The 11th Commandment; Woman, lie ye with thy neighbor and
return receptive to your husband's seed.

A few comments about the hurricane, more latter about the sorry
news media with there defferential reporting and self importance.

Before talking of rebuilding New Orleans talk of protecting
New Orleans. The probability of a category 4 or 5 storm hitting
the city has not changed, it is still the same as it was when the
storm hit. There is no guarantee that another storm will not hit
latter this month.

Fire the levee board, the political hacks said: that the levee is
world class and only broke in two places. This is like a doctor
saying that my patient is fine, only his heart and lungs have
stopped working. One levee brake that floods the city is total
failure.

Mayor should be fired, he said this is a party town. Well party
people are basically not responsible, they need a responsible
mayor and city.

News media think they make news instead of reporting the
news. They were very disappointed when they pointed there
cameras and no one came. They're very spoiled.

First responders and volunteers were GREAT ,
political hacks should be fired.
