Ready to play?

Can I play? Can I play? Ooooo, goodie! Here's one for you. Is this the result of "intelligent design" or is it an evolutionary kludge?

If I ever find the "intelligent" structural engineer that designed the human body, there's gonna be a class action suit. I'm sure I'll have my pick of all the lawyers in hell.

I keep trying to get the inferrers of design to put their inferences to the test, but so far I don't have much luck in getting anyone to play. I'm not sure why, since the claim that we can (reliably, of course) infer design by examining things may be the only testable hypothesis yet produced by ID theory. It seems to me that if ID were to demonstrate that one could reliably - and soundly, naturally - infer design in any arbitrary object or structure, it would do a great deal for ID in terms of promoting its acceptance as valid science. You'd think they'd be jumping at the chance to demonstrate such claims.

But perhaps Diamond just hasn't checked back in yet - hopefully he (she?) will take me up on my offer.
