Intelligent Design

[robvalue]

Well, I would personally never use the word "designed" if some sort of intelligence, or at the very least a process, wasn't involved. So we're just not speaking in the same terms. A system that apparently has rules is... just that; if you are calling the universe one of those things, fair enough. That is true by definition. It does appear to be that way, although we can only try and model the rules, we can never be sure we actually know what they are or that they really apply how we think they do.

Also, I would think the for something to be "designed" there would have to be a time when it didn't exist in its current form, some design process happened, and then the thing was crafted into this designed form. This assumes a time when our reality wasn't around, some sort of design process happened (however quickly), and then the reality was there with rules in place. I'd find this view to be possible, but as yet unsupported.

If you don't mean the above either, then your use of the word just means nothing like what I would mean by it. Which is fine
