| Quote (Glen Davidson @ Aug. 15 2012,20:37) | Since this answers Barry's/WLC's pig-ignorant strawman attack (whatever Ayala wrote--don't know, don't care, the real point is what evolution predicts), and I don't trust IDiots to approve this response made to WLC's idiocy on Youtube, I'm copying said response to here:
| Quote | The problem with that strawman is that life's second-rate designs are not due to sloppy or poor thinking, let alone poor workmanship. They are due to evolutionary limitations, especially the matter of heredity. Archaeopteryx was limited to rather incomplete adaptations of dinosaur structure and function, and was thus not much of a flier. Mammalian testes descend from their internal ancestral position. Neither exhibits design at all.
Life could not have been designed by a bungler. |
It's always the same stupid strawman, they don't care what sort of bad design appears in life--the kind predicted by evolutionary limitations/local optima--nor that they claim that life would require superior intelligence and it's a fact that it would require extremely great knowledge to design life (and thus such a one would not be expected to make the elementary mistakes that evolution makes), they just blather on about generalities rather than caring about the specifics. The latter destroy ID.
