He died of a rare blood disorder, the news outlets say. Why would the Intelligent Designer leave such jack-stupid flaws unfixed? And if some cosmic intelligence is hand-picking who lives and dies (the better to micromanage apparent historical contingency), why would he do something so manifestly counterproductive?
Perhaps because a program with such flaws is vastly larger than many operating systems combined. Have you ever noticed how many fatal flaws MS Windows displays?!
One common error in ID debates is that the mere existence of an intelligent design is extrapolated into a "perfect" Designer...even though the evidence appears to show quite the contrary.
What of these recent attempts at studying and making use of crocodile blood due to its resistence to infection? Is it ultimately a "blood" issue that makes the difference between life and death?
