"Of course, you know, if they succeed, this will only prove intelligent design, right? Of course, you know, if they fail, this will only prove intelligent design, right?"
LOL. So true. I got the same response with the article about the 100 or so year long Brit experiment to recreate the natural speciation of cauliflower, broccli, asparigus, and cabbage from wild kale.
It succeded, but took some time. The response was the selective breeding was evidence of intelligent design, instead of a re-creation of the natural speciation.
Of course, I concur that the universe was designed so intelligently He knew evolution would occur just as He wanted it. The Great Cakebaker of the Universe.
I concur wholeheartedly. But who knows - maybe He did do the whole deal in 6 days 6000 years ago (or 10 minutes ago) and just made it look like it evolved naturally - could you disprove that?
The whole point is, these aren't scientific views; intelligent design is just fine as a spiritual philosophy, but it just doesn't play by the criteria required of science the way evolutionary theory does.

LOL I just picture some guy making it to the gates of heaven, and upon meeting God discovers that God is actually a huge one celled organism. The guy says, “But God, you said that you created us in your image! Why did you tell us that?” God replies, “I did create you in my image. I also told you to go forth and multiply.”
