So, how does "Intelligent Design" explain all the bad design carried by viruses and other {vector\delivery} systems?
​
Perhaps they were designed by the Not-Quite-As-Intelligent Adversary of the Intelligent Designer. There seems no inherent reason within ID to posit only one designer, and the other designer could be a devil or a competing though somewhat less advanced alien.

Hey, once you plump for one Intelligent Designer, why not go for two?

Eureka!
By Jove, I think you've got it! I just didn't pursue the logic far enough. A committee of designers, indeed--perhaps the Roman pantheon.
​
Let's see, using the standard Mob IQ Equation, we take the average member IQ and divide it by the number of members...no, wait, that's Congress...
​
Anyway, you're on the right track. If we put our heads together, we'll probably forget what we're taking about altogether. If not, RAZD could help out.
​
P.S. If you don't send me an address, I'll have to drink that bottle, and my surgeon says that might just kill me.
​
OTOH, it's your conscience.
