"Intelligent Design"

Moi in 2008:

Wouldn't "design" imply that God had to think it through, that he had to carefully craft humans? Hunched over a sketch book, crunching numbers on his graphing calculator sending out for Chinese food late night?

And yet we're fed that God is "all-knowing." If he is so all-knowing and magical, wouldn't he just kinda go "POOF!" "there ya go, humans created!"? It's not enough these people want us to believe we were created by some fairy in the sky, we also have to act as if he "designed" us using his "intelligence"? Really? Maybe while controlling everything in the universe he also has trouble setting the clock on the vcr? Camon. All-knowing, all-powerful God or Tim the Tool Man Taylor, fucking pick one fuck's sake. - XMASTIME

Xmastime Hall of Famer Neil deGrasse Tyson answers the question "Does the universe have a purpose?" partly by wondering why it took so long to bother to create humans.
