Oh, great idea!
Why does the laryngeal nerve of the giraffe, stretch all the way down and loops around the aorta, just to go all the way back up the neck to the larynx?
Why did god make wisdom teeth?
It does so in all mammals, not just the giraffe.

More than a hypothesis, it is a fact of reality.
Mycoplasma Laboratorium is a synthetic species of bacterium. Within the DNA of the species is a series of water marks. These water marks are too complex to have evolved and can only be the product of intelligent design.

It has been demonstrated scientifically that biological systems can be intelligently designed and contain systems which are irreducibly complex.
Which has precisely nothing to do with the discussion or with evolution.

The claim made was that intelligent design was merely a hypothesis. Just one example of something intelligently designed demolishes that claim.
Intelligently designed biological systems exist.....shouldn't students then be taught about intelligent design?
You are a very dishonest person. This has nothing to do with evolution.
You know perfectly well that that is not what Intelligent Design means, so fuck off with your dishonest tactics.

The universe ,in its construction ,reveals the
the laws of mathematics and these laws can be calculated and diagrammed by physicists.
This implies an intelligence in creation and underpins I.D. theory.
Show us the maths.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
