Unintelligent Design Theory

[avram]

Unintelligent Design Network, Inc:

We hereby propose that a new debate be held, including members of the scientific community to argue that evolution should be taught as is, members of SEAO or the Intelligent Design Network, Inc. to argue that life shows evidence of an intelligent, omnipotent creator, and member of our organization to argue that although life was designed by an all-powerful creator, he is in reality pretty dumb and not very good at it. [...]

There have been 23 elephant-like animals in history, and yet only two survive today (and we add, they're not doing very well). Clearly, this is the mark of an all-powerful creator who is stuck on the same stupid idea and can't figure out why the hell they keep dying off. Hmm, perhaps it's because giant, big-eared mammals with huge, prehensile noses are ridiculous? I mean, WTF? A giant, powerful, grasping… nose? It looks like something a preschooler would make up. [...]

And who the hell though giraffes were a good idea? Bloody unlikely looking, if you ask me. And those tyrannosaurus, with the tiny little arms? Why even leave the arms in, except to flail about Corky looking for a snack. Speaking on this subject, did you know whales have hip bones? That's like if a human engineer put an outboard boat motor on a city bus. I think it's clear God never went to college, and I'm thinking it's sketchy he even has his GED. They guys in middle school shop class made more function and professional looking projects that half of God's motley menagerie.

When someone else talked about Stupid Design and mentioned menstrual cramps, I wrote the following:

It's not just cramps--I mean, any intelligent design can go wrong if it hasn't been implemented quite right.

But look at the whole concept of menstruation itself! "We'll build a guest house on this rich, fertile property. And then, if no one comes to visit, we'll tear it all down. Then we build it up again, in case a guest arrives during the next month. But if not...."

What about my theory of Intelligent Design.
We were made in the image of the Great Ape and our planet
is His Simiamness's excrement. See, makes as much sense as the big
boring book's fairy tales and angry invisible men.

nice example

I got here using the random search option and liked the `elephant-like creature` argument. A few weeks ago I did a `semi-formal` critique of the ID theory. Take a look!(I`d give you a direct link but I still haven`t figured everything out yet...)
