The Intelligent Design® Argument...
Their argument goes like this:
---------------- “Look: there are hundreds-myriads-millions, even-of extremely specialized diseases, bacteria and virii, which make life miserable, or even impossible, for humans and animals. You mean to say you believe these amazingly specifically-crafted germs were created by a random process? That is not reasonable. The specificity and virulence of these diseases prove there was an intelligence behind them!”
“Look at this partial list:”
Asperger’s Syndrome
Asthma
Autism
Cancers-Many may of these!
Celiac disease
Degenerative Nerve Disease
Depression
Diabetes
FIV
HIV/AIDS
Leukemia
Personality disorders
Progeria
Psychopathy
Quadrophenia
Reflux disease
Schizophrenia
Sciatica
Shingles
Steven Hawking’s disease
…and zillions more…
“And what about bed bugs, fleas, tics, mosquitoes, and those horrible things in Africa, which are like these, but worse? Designed, every last one of them, obviously! So there!” ----------------
Interesting point they make!
