Intelligent Design And The Basic Fundamentals Of Life

Before addressing intelligent design directly, let's look at the basics
of life. In order to understand the implications of intelligent design,
we need to understand the nature of life itself. Even though
fundamentalists insist the Bible is the source of all truth, it says
absolutely nothing about molecular biology. So, we have to study it for
ourselves.
[snip some good stuff]
Let's see it another way. If something is unknown it is mysterious. Once
the truth is known, the mystery disappears. In other words there is no
such thing as a mysterious truth. To put it succinctly, things fit
together so well in nature because they evolved that way, not because
they were designed. Richard Dawkins said it like this, "We have eyes
because there is light and we have ears because there is sound."

Let's don't. Now what?

we need to understand the nature of life itself.
O.K., I understand it. now what?
Even though
fundamentalists insist the Bible is the source of all truth, it says
absolutely nothing about molecular biology. So, we have to study it for

Alright. You folks go ahead and study it.

Let's see it another way. If something is unknown it is mysterious.
Who woulda thunk it?
Once
the truth is known, the mystery disappears.
I can hardly wait
In other words there is no
such thing as a mysterious truth.
Profound!
To put it succinctly, things fit
together so well in nature because they evolved that way, not because
they were designed. Richard Dawkins said it like this, "We have eyes
because there is light and we have ears because there is sound."
What happened to God? I thought it was the other way around.

Right. If you tax those who propagate it, they will have to find another
job. Who can afford to pay taxes?

NO! We have ears to hold our glasses. And eyes so that we'll NEED
glasses when we get older. It's a conspiracy by the eyewear
manufacturers.

But don't forget the obvious design: noses to support the glasses.
