Intelligent Design
This "theory" supposes that because life is so complex in its physical
manifestations, there must have been some "designer being" (God) to make it all
happen.
I have a question: How complex is complex enough to have required a designer?
I think proponents of IS have it backwards. Anyone who tries to design something
for functioning endeavors to make the design as simple as possible. Complexity
increases to possibility of error and/or breakdown. Research of DNA has revealed
an excess of complexity, in other words, the instruction sets for life forms
contain irrelevant and obsolete segments.
What might actually have revealed intelligent design would be the simplest
possible instruction set required to produce a given life form. This happens to
not be the case.
The "theory" of intelligent design reveals an inherent flaw of its own. It's too
simple to account for much of what actually exists. It is not an intelligent
theory.
