"There's an even bigger problem with ID. If you say our planet is too complex to be the way it is without an intelligence guiding it, and then explain that complexity by postulating that there actually is an intelligence (plus, as they don't state, a physical presence to that intelligence to let it intervene and shape our world), you explicitly don't solve the very problem your hypothesis was supposed to solve. You've actually made it worse by orders of magnitude. Rather than explaining the complexity of our world, you've now taken that complexity, and added onto it an intelligence and physical presence of an order complex enough to have guided a world of our complexity. Where did this complex 'intelligence' come from? You can't say it just always was there, because if complexity of that order can just always have been there, then complexity of our puny order can just always have been there too. Bam, no more need for ID. So we're left with only one possibility (assuming you don't at that point reject ID): God evolved from something simple. And if God can do it, why not us simpler organisms?" - - oliver_otter, 2005-11-15
