Who is dismissed as a 'saboteur' because that would insinuate he's another god, a god of destruction, the polar opposite of the intelligent designer of creation. Christians would never accept this and its incompatible with their monotheistic theology in any case.

Satan was created by the intelligent designer.

The perfect Lucifer, the morning star 'malfunctioning' and becoming Satan is merely part of the overall argument of poor design.

Anybody else find it hilarious that NDT ended that with a variation of a Polish joke?

I had a brainstorm. There's a reason why proponents of ID overlook the question of 'How can an intelligent designer make its creation so stupid it would not instinctively know or recognise its own creator?' and that's because the answer is undesirable for their cause.

Its pretty much done intentionally and dishonestly to lay the blame with us, and not with the designer, in an attempt to end all further enquiries and justification, because any serious attempt to answer that question puts them on a slippery slope that would ultimately have them arguing that the intelligent designer could have designed it all naturally, i.e. made reality to look like it was not actually created.

Asserting that, would basically spell death for their proposition and end all ambitions to teach their crap in schools. Smile

Your surprised that a bunch of scapegoaters engage in scapegoating? Not I.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Unintelligent design, requiring food in the first place, ensuring that some portion of us will starve every day. To compound matters, leaving us to engineer our food after saddling us with the requirement. God couldn't handle an ear of fucking corn? Worthless.
