“The only debate on Intelligent Design that is worthy of its subject” is a hilarious “debate” between a scientist and a crea… I mean, “Intelligent Design advocate”. It begins like this…
Moderator: We’re here today to debate the hot new topic, evolution versus Intelligent Des—
(Scientist pulls out baseball bat.)
Moderator: Hey, what are you doing?
(Scientist breaks Intelligent Design advocate’s kneecap.)
Intelligent Design advocate: YEAAARRRRGGGHHHH! YOU BROKE MY KNEECAP!
Scientist: Perhaps it only appears that I broke your kneecap. Certainly, all the evidence points to the hypothesis I broke your kneecap. For example, your kneecap is broken; it appears to be a fresh wound; and I am holding a baseball bat, which is spattered with your blood. However, a mere preponderance of evidence doesn’t mean anything. Perhaps your kneecap was designed that way. Certainly, there are some features of the current situation that are inexplicable according to the “naturalistic” explanation you have just advanced, such as the exact contours of the excruciating pain that you are experiencing right now.
Intelligent Design advocate: AAAAH! THE PAIN!
Go read it.

Usually I’m not a fan of the Anthropologist but I have to admit this is pretty funny. Sure it doesn’t take into consideration all of the factors…but hey, at least I got a laugh.
The Martian didn’t write it, he only linked to it, just like I did. But I found it pretty funny – and, of course, it’s true – on things that matter *here* and *now*, ID advocates deal with science and *reality* just like the “godless scientists” – they don’t ignore all facts of reality like they do regarding evolution or the origin of the world.
A group of scientists and The Inteligent Designer both agree to make a man from dirt and whoever makes the best man wins. The scientist asks The Inteligent Designer if He wants to go first and He said no.
So one of the scientists bends down to pick up some dirt to get started and the Inteligent Designer says, “Hey, get your own dirt!”
Keep up the interesting reading.
Evo guy hits ID guy’s knee with a baseball bat.
ID: Hey! What are you doing??!! You just broke my kneecap!
Evo: Nonsense. It evolved that way over millions of years.
ID: Damage like that doesn’t evolve! It happens all at once!
Evo: Prove it!
ID: In order to prove it, I’d have to destroy something! You show me something that gets destroyed like that slowly over millions of years.
Evo: Sorry, we have no actual evidence. We just refuse to believe the obvious, and there are lots of us who band together and repeat ourselves constantly to make ourselves feel better. Otherwise, we’d have to admit there’s a Creator. We’d really rather just keep chanting.
I can’t for the life of me grasp how anyone can rationally believe it’s “obvious” there’s a creator…
