What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
RE: What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
There are two big underlying problems with "intelligent design":

1) Science models reality. Intelligent design is not a model. No models are ever put forward to be tested, therefor it is not a scientific hypothesis and can never become a theory.

2) It operates under the false dichotomy that the only explanations are the theory of evolution and intelligent design.

Just to be clear: I'm not claiming there was no designer. I'm saying there's no evidence that there actually was. Problems with the theory of evolution are not evidence of design, neither are appeals to probability or complexity. You need to put forward your own model, or else you're not doing science.
Feel free to send me a private message.
