The funny thing about this... there is so much hoopla about how this program allows one to evaluate evolution etc... but SOMEONE created the original program.

Exactly. So many so-called intelligent scientists working so hard to design a program that will help them prove that no intelligent design was needed to create life as we know it.

If this doesn't reveal the utter hypocrisy and foolishness of evolutionists I don't know what does.

So many so-called intelligent scientists working so hard to design a program that will help them prove that no intelligent design was needed to create life as we know it.

Using a designed computer program to disprove Michael Behe's theory is in no way illogical or inconsistent.

Let me put it to you another way: Creationists claim that ONLY intelligent design can be responsible for "Irreducible Complexity"

Evolutionists, on the other hand, believe Intelligent Design AND Evolution are BOTH capable of producing things with irreducible complexity. Scientists would never argue that intelligent designers couldn't design things, or that God couldn't have created the Earth, or that it's impossible for God to have designed all of the species. They argue that there is no scientific evidence to believe Intelligent Design theories, and that ID is based on illogical and unscientific claims.

I'll make a table: this is what the two groups believe

Intel. Design Evolution
Creationists CAN create IC CANNOT create IC
Evolutionists CAN create IC CAN create IC
Evolutionists believe both ID and Evo can produce IC. Creationists believe only ID can produce IC.

Scientists have never denied that ID can produce IC (it would be absurd to do so).

The difference, as you can see, is whether the two groups believe evolution can ever produce IC.

The program was designed to show that evolution can. There is nothing illogical at all about that. The fact that ID can ALSO create IC is irrelevant, because both scientists and creationists agree that it can.
