What are the empirical metrics for intelligent design?
Do wings on a bird have a purpose? Fins on a fish? Eyes? Fingers? Lungs? The answer to these questions is obviously ‘yes’. So how do you explain purpose without ‘intent’ and how do explain intent without ‘intelligence’? How did that first cell ‘accidently’ climbing out of the primordial soup come up with the notion of reproducing itself? Apparently it must have been one stout organism to survive the intense heat. Funny that no living organism today could withstand the proposed heat of that ancient cauldron. That original lifeform must not have passed that characteristic on to it’s evolutionary offspring.
