Intelligent Design

[€uroMeinke]

Another problem I see with "Intelligent" design is it sort of presumes God to be some sort of scientist (or watch maker if you go back to the 19th century version). Why can't we have "Poetic" design, where the world is but God's metaphore? or how about "Comic" design where God is demonstrating his boundless humor?

"Intelligent" design fails in that it embeds the superiority of sciene in it's ontology - only a culture that has lost it's faith, superceding it with science, would look to such an argument for the proof of God's existence.
