Intelligent Design Is Not Smart

No one expects that any of the chemical process which happen zillions of times a day requires the attention of an intelligent designer to make them happen in just the right way. Energy and the elements interact in a certain way, the cause and effect are well known and not unexpected. A snowflake forms without intervention from an unseen hand.

A really intelligent designer would have designed everything to work this way, even evolution. So there would be no way to tell the difference between design and chance, because the Universe would have been designed from the start to produce a certain effect.

Anything less than this is imperfection, and therefore not a product of any God claimed by existing religions. It might work with older, pagan religions. If you believe in Zeus or Wotan, maybe Intelligent Design will work for you. Otherwise, you're just blaspheming against your own God.
