To: Amos the Prophet
I asked: Was every atom intelligently designed?

You answered: Excellent. Intelligence has deduced a remarkable design to the structure and development of atoms. Is it so ridiculous to posit the theorum that the very intelligence used to discern atomic aptters may be a referent to greater intelligence?

Cutting through the chaff, I'm guessing that your answer to the question is "yes, every atom is intelligently designed."

And the result is, rather obviously, that because your version of ID posits intelligent design as the explanation for everything, it explains nothing. It is an explanatory dead-end, the ultimate shoulder-shrug. The answer to every how, what and why is the same -- the mysterious IDer did it.

Well, at least this frees up more time for golf.

That old war horse again?

How, what and why are the very questions that Darwinian scientific research cannot answer. It only becomes possible to answer them when the plausability of how, what and why exist.
