No, it also explains my examples at 2102. It also explains the existence of "junk" dna

So does ID. IThey're called "bugs". Of course Microsoft would call them "features", but what the hey.

Features, LOL, good one.

We are going to fundamentally disagree on these points, but that was a funny line.

You: So does ID.

I would have thought ID would predict the absence of junk dna. Maybe when it gets to the level of a coherent theory, we'll have some way of making ID predictions.

So far, all I've seen is an analogy to a coding shop. Basically, coders make bugs, there are bugs in dna, therefore...

So I guess you're ruling out God Himself as the Designer, eh? (There's gotta be a better way to deal with malaria). And why do apes get scurvy? Did a chimp and a gorilla also eat the forbidden fruit!? (seriously, I've seen arguments that scurvy is a side effect of the fall; but why would God punish apes for the sin of Adam and Eve? Nothing like that in my Bible!)

Like Mark Twain and the weather (paraphrasing) "Obviously, God Himself made everything in New England, with the exception of the weather, which He had an apprentice..."
