I think we were not designed, but happened as a result of evolution.
Why else would the ?design? of my knees and back back be such a
shambles.

I do hope you all watched Horizon tonight. ;-)

I didn't see it. Do tell?

Sir David Attenborough calling irrelevant the comments of those who, in
effect, mark the whole of his life a lie. Richard Dawkins telling it as it is
- but with less patience. And the best comments from a Jesuit astronomer. All
successfully demolishing the ideas of so-called 'Intelligent Design' which
nevertheless manages to take over the mind of many of the non-thinking of the
USA (including the President of that country).

ie about Creationism and those who attempt to take Genesis literally (which is
OK even if impossible) and claiming their ideas are science (which is clearly
not OK). The Jesuit astronomer put it best - "their ideas may destroy science
and they will also destroy religion.

NB I know some of those promoting 'Intelligent Design' are not stupid. They
also know that there is much power and much money in getting the gullible to
accept the views they promote.
