It just proves once again that ID makes sense, but only to dolts.

That's funny. I consider dolts and idiots those who can't come to the rational conclusion that a fine swiss watch, when compared to a random pile of rocks, must have been formed by some sort of intelligence.

That's funny, I consider dolts and idiots people who can't grasp that ol' Bill Paley's 1802 religious musings were flawed from the outset. Analogizing manufactured products that do not reproduce to entities that are imperfect replicators is so far flawed that only an idiot or a dolt would present the claim as some transcendent piece of argument.

I've always thought that this is one of the stupidest analogies used by creationists; i.e., drawing a distinction between rocks in a desert and a watch to indicate signs of "created-ness," since according to the creationist position, the rocks in the desert were created as well.
