I love it. Intelligent falling.

After all, regularity requires explanation, doesn't it (and chaos is inherently inexplicable -- but regularity ... )? Perhaps we could postulate intelligent electromagnetism, to "explain" why electrons "want" to move toward protons.

Anthropomorphism is for the mediocre-minded.

If you rolled a die 100 times and recorded the sequence of numbers, an ID theorist would say God's hand must have made it fall that way. After all, the final outcome is so unlikely ... the probability it would have occurred is 1/(6^100)! There must have been an intelligent force guiding it!

My personal favorite ID arguement is: "Isn't that tree pretty"... Therefore God exists.

I agree as well. Although I do wonder what mischief God had in mind when He created the world's ugliest dog.

Robert Malcom,

You mean the dog is God and on drugs, or the Giant Spaghetti Monster sniffed some crack?

Good God Giant Spaghetti Monster, you made one ugly dog!
