You’re putting us on, right? Do you honestly believe that no one has offered any evidence of ID? Well, let me offer you some very strong evidence right now.

We don’t have a clue about how the first (or any) living cell came to be. Not only that, but mathematicians have shown that it is extremely unlikely to have happened by random chance. Furthermore, experiments intended to demonstrate that a living cell could have formed by random chance have completely failed.

Yet ID deniers insist, against all mathematical analysis and experimental results, that the first living cell formed by random chance. Forget for now that their claim is “unfalsifiable” and therefore “unscientific,” according to their own arguments against ID. When pressed, they claim that, given the age and size of the universe, “anything can happen.” But they do not understand combinatorics. If every cubic yard of the universe was filled monkeys typing randomly for 100 times the age of the universe, they would still be extremely unlikely to type the first page of Macbeth correctly.

If you saw the words “Hey, you ID deniers are bozos” written on the sands of a beach, would you claim that it got there due to random winds, with no intelligent design? Of course not. Why? Because common sense says that it could not have happened by random chance. The same reasoning applies a billion times more to the simplest living cell, which is perhaps more complex than all of man’s technology.

Quit parroting nonsense about ID, and start thinking for yourself.

If you understood the subject at all, you would see that these two sentences are mutually exclusive.
