Intelligent design? Really?

[*Deidre*]

Intelligent design (as most of us know) is just a front for creationism, but when you check reality, it becomes very clear that some things aren't intelligently designed at all. We can't prove they weren't designed by a magical sky daddy, but we can damn well prove that the sky daddy was a fucking moron.

For instance, exhibit A:

The laryngeal nerve, starts at the brain, goes all the way down and loops around the heart and then goes all the way back up to the larynx. And all it does, is control the larynx. Does that look intelligently designed to you? It looks stupidly designed to me, if your god really does exist, he is very inept in the inner workings of large organisms. If a contractor installing electrical wiring, looped the wire around my house 6 times, only to provide power to my TV, I wouldn't be very impressed.

How about this:


The appendix. What kind of dumbass makes an organ, that we don't use? What kind of mentally retarded god, makes a useless organ that has been known, on occasion, to blow up and kill the person?

And how about our mouths. How stupid does someone have to be to design a respiratory system and digestive system and give them the same hole to work out of? Why could this all powerful, all knowing god, create a system in which it would be impossible for me to choke on a sweet?

In conclusion, due to the vast amount of evidence against intelligent design, and indeed creationism, I think I am being reasonable when I conclude that anyone who believes we are designed, is a dolt who needs to be thrown back into school and re-educated.

You are employing logic, though. See, faith has nothing at all to do with logic. If you attempt to sell this idea to a Creationist/religous person, the rebuttal will invariably be: ''No one knows the mind of God. His ways are not our ways. Faith, is a mystery.''
There mere fact that a gender is even applied to 'God,' should tell you that logic doesn't come into play here.

Creationists are more than satisfied with believing that the things that can't be rightfully explained through science/logic, have a Creator as the answer, no matter how illogical it seems. (I used to be Christian, yet, I wasn't sold on Creationism, tbh.)

Circular arguments ensue, and you, the logical one, will just end up with a massive headache.
