When an object is intelligently designed, it by necessicity entails the organization of matter for the purpose of having it perform consistently and according to the purpose the designer intended. One might find an argument for unintelligent design in the works of certain modern artists, but even these, though they may attempt to demonstrate unintelligent design, nevertheless fail, for by their attempts to denote the unintelligent, they have by default engaged an element of design.

If you are attempting to convince someone of the sensibility of your arguments it does little good to posit a fake theory that makes a mockery of conventional meanings and has no basis in reality. The presence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws is a reality, and it is best explained by intelligent design.

Only if you assume a designer a priori.

"If you are attempting to convince someone of the sensibility of your arguments it does little good to posit a fake theory that makes a mockery of conventional meanings and has no basis in reality."

Advice you could do good to take yourself.

BTW, my assertion is not a joke, really. As I already said to your earlier, it is just as testable as yours. I am just intellectually honest enough to admit it is outside of science.

"The presence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws is a reality, and it is best explained by intelligent design."

Only if you assume intelligent design a priori. Otherwise, either is just as testable and logical.
