Intelligent decline

by Robert McHenry

 

"The [intelligent Design] party holds that certain aspects of the

world, especially details of the anatomy and biochemistry of living

beings, are simply too complex to have evolved without guidance. The

approved phrase is 'irreducible complexity,' a 'concept' to which we

will return. ID partisans have trained themselves not to be too

specific about the Designer, either, for they have learned the lesson

left by the political failure of their predecessors, the Creation

Scientists, namely, that too much frankness in the matter of Who the

Intelligent Designer is does not pay. So, carefully avoiding anything

that sounds like theology, while all the time the butter remains quite

firm in their mouths, they simply aver that there is a Design and that

it prima facie evidences Intelligence. 'God? Oh, heavens, we're not

talking about God. It might just be his next-door neighbor Wilson.'"
