[[ID is a non starter. Should be called SD (stupid Design). I mean how come we have an appendix, or guys go bald at 50, or Autism, you name it.]]

You are confusing intelligent design with perfect design- a common mistake by those who don’t understand the concept of ID. When an archeologist finds a clay pot- or even several clay pots, the ONLY conclusion to be made is that an intelligence created the pots- Are hte pots perfect? Unbreakable? Flawless? No- despite htis, the obvious conclusion is that intelligence went into the creation of these pots- another example is folks who like to point ot Chimps and hteir use of tools- the use of hte tools is termed intelligent use- is it perfect? Are hte tools perfect? No- We live in a state of constant entropy, and nothign is perfect- yet many things are indeed intelligently caused.

“You are confusing intelligent design with perfect design....”

Thanks for helping me with that. I was under the impression that ID was that evolution of mankind(and other life forms)was guided by God. So if it is not God who was it? I can see your pot analogy, cause man certainly is imperfect, look at all that stuff coming crom China.

Man has been involved in lots of evolution such as horse breeding, and plant modification.

Interesting
