Intelligent Design

Pool: OK, good I was getting worried about you! What is left?

AAT: You claim to be a science student, particularly in biology, yet you don't seem to differentiate between evolution and abiogenesis. And you either don't understand the scientific method or you are prepared to jettison it and poison the well of all of science when the results conflict with your personal beliefs. You seem to think scientific theories are arrived at by vote. There is a consensus among the educated because there is evidence, in the same way that most people would be convinced I have a car if I show them my car and the registration documents.

Let's not pretend, you think "god did it". If you don't think that, please correct me. Are you a creationist? If not, I recommend you stick to the claims that god was involved in abiogenesis, because that is the remaining gap in knowledge. One that is quickly closing.

But putting religion aside, let's say aliens were responsible for abiogenesis. We are some weird experiment. What does it matter? Why should I, or any atheist care? If I found out tomorrow aliens made me, or even god made me, it makes no difference to me. If you can find an email address for them, I have some serious complaints about how terrible their design was though.
