I participated in those discussions on a large scale back in the day. A Freeper, Balrog66 (sp?) was a staunch advocate for evolution.
The net effect of those discussions was to crystallize for me the concept that the best evidence against intelligent design is chaos. Information and arrangement of matter are hallmarks of intelligent design.
Of course, a certain portion of Congress these days does very well at demonstrating chaos.
Believe it or not, my first thought after reading the OP post was that Fester Chugabrew could probably address the question. Then started reading the comments and there you were! I seem to recall that Patrick Henry and some side kick of his (can’t remember the poster’s name but I believe it started with a ‘V’) were huge proponents of evolution and you guys got into more than few huge (hugh ??) discussions.
Nietzsche said that out of chaos, comes order.
Now do the various flavors of the Windows operating system.

You might as well say that ice is intelligent design ... well, and so it is!
