Buzsaw comments on RAZD's example of evolution of a motorbike:
quote:
You need be highly commended, Razd, for the wonderfully intelligent designing of your bicycle.
There's nothing intelligent about RAZD's design, Buz. (No offence, RAZD, I'm talking about your design, not you. But you understand that, no doubt.)
Let's pick it apart, shall we?
RAZD writes:
adding a battery powered light to the bicycle
An
intelligent designer would have thought of that right away.
RAZD writes:
Adding a generator to the system is a further improvement
An
intelligently designed system doesn't need improvements, especially if the designer is deemed perfect.
RAZD writes:
Increasing the size of the {generator\motor} and the capacity of the storage battery
As if not including a generator in the first place isn't already a design failure, now it needs to be
increased? Shouldn't the
intelligent designer have thought of that before?
RAZD writes:
add a small motor to the generator to assist the generation of electricity, allowing the battery to be smaller
OK, so first you need a big battery and now a smaller one will suffice? So there was a waste of resources in the past? How
intelligent is that?
RAZD writes:
link the motor directly to the drive mechanism to get around energy lost in the various intermediate stages
Wait a minute. This system is
intelligently designed, yet energy gets wasted?
RAZD writes:
allow the {generator\battery} system to atrophy and fall off
That's the bloody limit! We don't need the generator/battery system after all? Whose money does this
intelligent designer think he's spending?
In conclusion: if your Intelligent Designer is in any way like the one who developed RAZD's motorcycle, Buz, then he's fired.
