Re: Thanks Crash
Excellent analogy, Crash.
I'd like to add that "complexity" is meaningless, as well. My cat can mindlessly turn a ball of yarn into a complex tangle in moments. The tangled yarn would be difficult to design, and parts of it would not remain tangled if other parts were not in their place. Remove a section of the tangled mess, and more will unravel.
But I'd certainly never say the mess was a design, or that anything intelligent made it.

Every time a fundy breaks the laws of thermodynamics, Schroedinger probably kills his cat.
