Baloney. Unless you think the "biotech guys" created everything. Don't be so coy.

I'm not being coy. What you do is design -- intelligent design. You are a living, breathing example of the fact that supernatural actions and agents are neither necessary nor sufficient to put forth an intelligent design hypothesis.

Just as there is need for you to claim that you "created everything," there is no reason to paste that claim onto the ID hypothesis.

"Coy" is exactly the right word. When you pin down any IDer he/she will eventually say the designer is God (Behe did under cross examination). You make "the biotech guy" do the same as God, they must therefore be as God.

So, by my Godness as defined by r9etb, I banish all IDers to the rug under the stairs where they are to remain until the Phorids and Ichneumons are finished. Then they will be removed to an entirely inappropriate rock stratum as fossils.

What a hoot!

Here I go again, poking my nose in.

"I'm not being coy. What you do is design -- intelligent design. You are a living, breathing example of the fact that supernatural actions and agents are neither necessary nor sufficient to put forth an intelligent design hypothesis."

The point of ID is not that we create 'intelligently designed' artifacts ourselves, but that the putative techniques of ID allow us to determine the use of intelligent design within objects where the origin is unknown.
