If there is a designer, it ain't THAT intelligent!

Duh. Summary of article. Improbable genome configurations are less likely than probable ones.

Rabbits would be a good example. They can be scared to death pretty easily.

Do you realize that this article refutes naturalistic evolution?

I wonder how much grant money they wasted to state the obvious? A thought exercise with some elementary probability would yield the same conclusion.

LOL you just can’t help yourself, can you?

Where’s the Discovery Institute video link?

Not a surprising conclusion. For example, being an aggressive violent unmerciful human being might be a short-term positive in terms of natural selection, but ultimately these are not the best traits for the long-term survival of humanity. The thing is, societal behavior can change drastically over much shorter time periods than thought necessary for substantive genetic selection. It has only been 60-70 years since Nazi death camps, for example. What we learn about behavior (e.g. being merciful, ‘doing the right thing’) is passed on not by changes in our genes, but by what we teach our children. Somewhat off topic, but worth thinking about.
