Fucked Up Design

  When a product has a flaw in it that causes injuries and/or death, it's the fault of the manufacturer not the product. Examples include the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, Takata airbags, hoverboards and General Motors ignition switches. In each case, the company that designed and manufactured the product was to blame.
  Let's apply this to Intelligent Design. Some people would have us believe that the universe was designed by an omnipotent, omniscient deity. First, God designed the angels. Everything the Angels are was brought into being by God. One of God's angelic creations, Lucifer, rebelled against God and convinced one third of the Angels to join him. Does this sound like an intelligent design to you? Sounds more like a colossal fuckup to me. And how does Mr. Omnipotence and Omniscience fix this problem? Does He out debate Lucifer and convince him and the rebelling Angels that their plan won't work? You'd think an omniscience being could pull that off with ease. Does He simply eliminate the problem by fixing the flaw in the rebellious Angels? No in both cases. This supposedly perfect being just casts Lucifer and his followers into Hell and let's the problem fester. Smart move.
  Then there's the creation of Man. Again, you'd think a supposedly perfect being would be able a design a flawless creation. Nope. Mankind is a lot of things but perfect isn't one of them. For all the good we're capable of doing, we're also capable of considerable amounts of evil. All of it designed into us by God if you believe religion. And in typical narcissistic fashion, God blames His creations for their actions rather than Himself for making those actions possible. He can't accept the fact that He's a colossal Fuckup.

Eric Hovind: Creationist Asswipe

Eric Hovind, stated that if evolution is true, then it wasn't wrong for Josh Duggar to molest his sisters.  Apparently he feels that without some absolute authority figure holding the threat of eternal damnation over our heads, mankind would act in a completely amoral and sociopathic manner. Think about that for a moment. Hovind truly believes that we're utterly incapable of acting in a moral and ethical manner on our own. He's also saying in no uncertain terms that God is a fuck up. God, a supposedly omnipotent and omniscient being, either couldn't or wouldn't give mankind the ability to act compassionately. He's saying that the only reason Christians act compassionately is because they're afraid of ending up in Hell if they don't. The funny thing is, mankind has been acting morally and ethically long before God and Christianity came along. We realized long ago that it was in our best interest as a species to act in a manner that benefitted us as a whole. That why we created a system of laws to govern ourselves. We're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but we are capable of governing ourselves without having to create some divine mythical authority figure to stand in ultimate judgment of us.

Intelligent Design Bullshit

In this past Sunday's Journal Times, there was an article about Republican congressman Rep. Paul Broun. In it, he called evolution, embryology and the Big Bang Theory "lies straight from the pit of hell". This man is a certifiable right wing religious zealot nut job. It's ignorant assholes like this that undermine legitimate science by continuously foisting off religious superstition as science to a largely gullible and ignorant public. Intelligent Design is a failed theory but because most people know little if anything about evolution, con artists and charlatans continue their "teach the controversy" bullshit. The reason these people do this is simple, money and power. Keep the public ignorant so they can be more easily controlled. Keep them believing that there's a great invisible being in the sky that constantly watches them to make sure they're not sinning. And, of paramount importance, get them to believe that they're this being's representatives on Earth and if you send them money they'll see to it that you get into Heaven. Intelligent Design needs to be thrown in the scrap heap with the rest of the failed theories. Its proponents need to be discredited and thrown out of the scientific community. This willful preying upon the ignorant by these fucking jackals must be brought to an end. Religious superstition has no place in science. 'Nuff said.
