Intelligent Design is So Very Stupid!

A watch implies a watchmaker. By that argument, a watchmaker implies a watchmaker's momma, implies a grandmomma, ad infinitum.

I'm mostly offended by the narrowness of IDers' imagination. On a plainly logical level, it's science vs. junk science. To this end The New Yorker features a well-written critique.

For the record, I'm no atheist. The God I know gives us, among other things, a sense for what's holy. While respectful of scientific inquiry, I'm an aesthete at heart, and appreciate most (above argument and evidence) the sheer beauty of evolution: blindness to purpose, reliance on chance and circumstance, and the marvels that result.
