First by “intelligent design” can we agree on a meaning along the wording of:

An agent capable of making decisions about they will or will not do and carrying those decisions out and being fully aware of doing so.

So here’s the experiment. I put an arrow head in a paper sack and a similarly sized stone that I picked up from somewhere, anywhere goes in the sack too. Now you reach in and take out either one and tell me whether it is intelligently designed or not or if you are unable to say either way.

Not too hard so far, but now explain how you reasoned out your answer, the steps of logic, etc. you used.

So now that you’ve heard the experiment, which one did you mentally pick out and what is your answer to the steps of logic question and so forth?

As the expression goes, "arrowheads don't grow on trees."

I don’t find that experiment convincing. It has less to do with what process made something and more to do with our human prejudices. Why not take a poll?

Of course I could search all over the world and find an accidental arrowhead, and then make a pebble with a grinder. Then what?
