Biglfty,
We've been told that nearly anything can be used as evidence in favor of intelligent design, and we're not sure what would constitute evidence against intelligent design. If even the imperfections in human design support the hypothesis that it was intelligently designed, then what could possibly be offered to falsify the hypothesis?

You people are so quick to dismiss teleology simply because it can't be detected. You're assuming that the Intelligent Designer wanted stable, enduring, optimal creations. Isn't it obvious that he intended you to be gimps?

Which Batman?
You Batman literalists make it sound easy. Do we follow the old Detective Comics Batman or the subsequent Batman of the comic book series bearing his name? Is the campy Adam West Batman a legitimate authority? Does the Tim Burton Batman take precedence over the Joel Schumacher Batmen?
These are important questions and should not be so glibly dismissed, in my opinion. I mean IMO.
