I thought we'd get round to that dreary old cop·out, "Intelligent Design", sooner or later. I've had my say about that gross misnomer on other threads before now. Can you really not see that it's blatantly Unintelligent Design? One of the great consolations of my life, for instance, is having always known that I would not ever have to undergo the dire traumas of childbirth. What can have been intelligent in designing so exiguous an exit for so substantial a delivery, with its concomitant agonising effects,? How could anyone have ever thought that horrible penance, so necessary to the continuation of our very existence, could have been the invention a any sort of 'Loving God' or benevolent deity? Why, they even had to write a whole chapter, to explain it & excuse the cruel old sod of a God, in Genesis; with all that idiocy about fruits of trees of knowledge of good and evil and such patent bummipooze.

'Intelligent design', like Elijah's bumhole! UNINTELLIGENT DESIGN is what we've got. Live with it! -- as in fact we have to do, all the time!
