If life is intelligently designed what does this parasitic nature of life say about the designer?
As far as ID is concerned I think the questions are:
Is a design that we don't like not a design because of that?
Is a design that we would have not prefered not a design because of that?
Is a bad design not a design because of that?
Asking "What does the design of a tapeworm tell us about the designer?" sounds not like saying "ID is not scientific enough or at all " but rather "Well, I don't like this designer."
ID doesn't promise that you will like the designer. It is just the detection of evidence for intelligent causes.
If SETI should receive rave reviews of MAD magazine from a distant solar system "What does this tell us about the Intelligent Life sending these messages?" is a secondary question.
I have my opinions about things which can be discerned about the Mind of a Designer of a tapeworm. But these are theological or philosophical musings. I would humor you with an answer. But first I want to make it clear that a design that we loath is
still a design.
Am I right?
