ID
The intelligent design movement holds that life forms are too complex to have been formed by natural processes and must have been fashioned by a higher intelligence, which is never officially identified but which most adherents believe to be God — or a reasonable facsimile.
Well, I should hope so. It’s where the “natural processes” come from that puzzles me, anyway. Maybe it’s the mud God found handily by in Eden out of which she put Adam’s genes on the pottery wheel and spun him up. I’ve always wondered where that stuff came from, and now the ID people have ID’d it. It’s from a Lower Intelligence who just happened to partner-up with God, the Higher Intelligence, on that special occasion.
Life forms are complex, all right, but apparently some of them are not so complex as to know when and when not to explain God right out of existence.
