Re: Design, hold the Intelligent
quote:
So, since the idea that living things look as if they have been designed for a purpose has been raised it is worth asking what that purpose would be. Because there is not much sign of a purpose at all.
As I read this, it occurs to me that humans may be "designed" to eat, sleep, defecate, and copulate. Pretty much what other apes are "designed" do; but with a few special talents, like producing animated movies and weapons of mass destruction.
What say you?
