Proponents of Intelligent Design hold that the patterns of nature strongly suggest the hand of an artificer, someone who has planned it all and made it happen.
To put their ability - to discern intelligence behind a pattern - to the test, I would like to present two figures and ask ID-ers a very straightforward question, namely to tell us of each figure whether or not they think it shows the hallmarks of design, perhaps accompanied by an explanation of their reasoning. First I would like to collect some responses, and then we can discuss them.
Here are the figures:
The appropriate forum would be 'Intelligent Design'
