Stossel skirted the fact that anyone who attempts to discuss intelligent design as a theory of how life evolved won’t be hired or will be run out of the “intellectual” community.
And my personal theory about why that is the case is not because intelligent design is too ridiculous to even discuss, but because it makes more sense and is FAR more likely to be true than Darwinian evolution whose scientific foundation is known to be essentially non-existent by one and all of those who promote it, since Darwinian evolution is nothing more than a slightly dressed up version of the older spontaneous generation theory in which life springs whole from mud puddles. In fact, the only real difference between Darwinian evolution and spontaneous generation is the amount of time involved ... they both start with mud puddles and end with home sapiens with no explanatory motivating force in between.
Trey Parker of South Park, put it best...
“Basically ... out of all the ridiculous religion stories which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous — the silliest one I’ve ever heard is, ‘Yeah ... there’s this big giant universe and it’s expanding, it’s all gonna collapse on itself and we’re all just here just ‘cause ... just ‘cause’. That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.”

‘because it makes more sense and is FAR more likely’
you find it particularly intelligent, (assume that our solar system is the totality of existace)to create a sun and nine orbiting bodies dependent on it for life, and then to place eight of the nine too near or too far, so that they remain devoid of life...?
Well said. as I like to say: prince kisses frog, frog turns into beautiful princess=fairy tale. Prince kisses frog + 4.6 billion years, frog turns into beautiful princess=evolution. Both are nonsense.
