[totally OT] NYT Article about Intelligent Design

Thought some people here might be interested in this article by Daniel
C. Dennett about Intelligent Design

Mainly just applying Popper, but a nice read nonetheless.

With some creativity, one might even be able to abuse his method of
reasoning for on topic stuff.

Thanks for that. As people have said "For those who believe no
explanation is necessary, for those who don't none is possible." And I
haven't seen any evidence of divine intervention. I have seen a handful
of people who are absolute geniuses at manipulating the public, and
creating power for themselves to the detriment of the world.

Here's another example of dangerous morons at work:

SMYRNA, Tenn. -- Members of a church say God is punishing American
soldiers for defending a country that harbors gays, and they brought
their anti-gay message to the funerals Saturday of two Tennessee
soldiers killed in Iraq.

I can't think of a whole lot that is more despicable or disgusting than
this, on so many levels. The term "lowest form of life" comes to mind.
Read the rest if you have the stomach. I'm surprised that this
administration didn't send an official envoy out with the protesters.

"Fortunately for physicists, there is no powerful motivation for such a
band of mischief-makers to form. They don't have to spend much time
persuading people that quantum physics and Einsteinian relativity really
have been established beyond all reasonable doubt".

A shaky foundation for a start. Quantum physics and relativity are
incompatible and there are large numbers of dissenters (mainly kooks)
who especially do not believe in relativity. Sci.phys prays for a
unifying theory real soon.

RBR is proof that Intelligent Design is a load of ********. Discuss.


I'm not sure, although it must have been the devil who made the design.

I spent all day climbing up a road in order to get to a downhill on which I
went 35 mph through a series of chicanes. There were several riders who
passed me near the top and several on the downhill but I passed them all
like they were standing still.

So did that happen accendently or through intelligent design?
