But wait! There’s more on Intelligent Design
I’m not alone when it comes to finding Intelligent Design utter garbage. John Derbyshire does too (link):
By contrast with these meta-topics about which we know nothing—the questions about which may not even have meaning—we know a great deal about the actual mechanisms of natural selection, gene function, inheritance, matter-energy systems, and the early history of the universe; but there are many things we do not fully understand, and the ID-ers wish to plug those gaps by invoking the intervention of a higher intelligence. Working scientists in these fields are much, much more likely to say: “Well, let’s wait and see what a couple more generations of scientific inquiry turn up before we leap to conclusions like that.”
He also calls ID “pure flapdoodle”. I like that. Flapdoodle. Heheheh…
