Don't they also make the case for a Committee of Intelligent Designers?
Intelligent Design is the latest term they're using to push what they used to call Creationism.

It argues that things are so complex, that there must have been an "Intelligent Designer".

But if all things had to have been designed, why would such a task be limited to only one designer?

Wherever there are efforts to promote the teaching of "The Theory of Intelligent Design" with the possibility of a "Designer", there should also be taught the Theory of the Intelligent Design Committee, with the possibility of Designers.

What do you think?

1. they also make the case for an unintelligent designer
and for a nameless bureaucratic designer

and they beg the question, who designed the designer?

4. You could be dualistic and say God made the good things, and the Devil
made the bad things, like mosquitoes.

2. That would certainly explain
our noses and the weird genitalia/anus placement.
*THAT* silliness absolutely feels like something decided by committee rather than intelligent design.

that you can't quite reach ... and nasal drip, drip, drip down th back of your throat.

Those were definitely design flaws - so who do I sue?

5. Actually there were Two "Designers"
One was the "Intelligent Designers" which had a hand in creating the life-forms that live in states like Massachusetts ...and then there were the "Not-So-Intelligent-Designers"...they made most of the life-forms in Texas.... :evilgrin:

8. However the idea of there being a good designer and a bad designer
is just as legitimate as the idea of a single designer.
