Intelligent Design

[God of Mr. Hanky]

It isn't without evidence. Did you read the last response where I listed many intricate systems? Can you honestly tell me that it doesn't at least give the appearance of design? Even Richard Dawkins acknowledges that life gives the appearance of being designed for a purpose. He just thinks that this is an illusion. It is not irrational or an assertion to say that the appearance of design may be due to the fact that it was designed. Why do I have to do mental gymnastics to avoid the obvious conclusion to try to find some other answer that may or may not exist?

It becomes an irrational assertion when you hold fast to it despite strong evidence to the contrary, as in evolution.  Dawkins doesn't just "think" it is an illusion of design.  He used his critical thinking skills and available scientific evidence to come to the most reasonable conclusion.  

Reasoning in science? What a concept!
