Re: Collection of strawmen
compmage,
Thanks for the link. I stand refuted. Genetic algorithms are able to create designs that can be better than intelligent design. So maybe we should attribute the poorly designed elements within the cell to intelligent design and the more refined designs to evolutionary mechanisms. I can see it now, Behe stating that the non-irreducibly complex systems prove intelligent design since genetic algorithms create such effecient and interlocking designs.

Hardly.
There is far to much evidence that life has evolved too come to any other conclussion. I was mearly pointing out the evolution is capable of 'design' that is better than human design.

I hardly think that any creationist, of any strip, would admit that meer humans are supperior to their God in any way.

Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in
this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely
conceives it, wants it, and loves it.
- Mikhail Bakunin, God and the State, from The Columbian Dictionary of Quotations
