If anything is "anti-rational," it is the notion that a living organism could come about without the presence of either intelligence or design. That is "anti-rational" to the point of absurdity.

Well, no, since then you've got to ponder who designed the designer and so on, ad nauseum. That's about as "anti-rational" as one can get.

ID seems to require an infinite chain of turtles. Else one turtle gets special pleading.

Mathemeticians have a symbol for infinity and they use it. Circles have no beginning or end. Are these also "anti rational" entities?
