[Fester Chugabrew]

What scientific argument is there for the proposition that intelligence is not required to produce organized matter performing specific functions? The nature and extent of intelligent design is fertile ground for science to explore, information being the very currency of science.

Furthermore, science is always tethered to each observer's philosophy or premises, so it is somewhat disingenuous to suggest proponents of intelligent design theory are operating purely out of religious and philosophical motives while proponents of methodological naturalism are purely objective.

An example of an instance where matter spontaneously organizes to perform a specific function. Dissipative Structures spring immediately to mind.
