Amusing take on the new alternative theory to evolution, "Intelligent Design." ID seems to be picking up adherents ever day, and I imagine that "Inherit the Wind" rentals are soaring as well. This Q&A is funny because it's true. Excerpt:
Q: So what is ID doing to research the identity and characteristics of this 'intelligence' that it posits?
A: Well, nothing that I've found yet...
Q: Because if they really wanted to research stuff, they'd be saying things like, 'Well, could a giant lobster make a flower?' and, 'Is there anything about the design of DNA that looks like something a space crustacean would come up with?'
A: I really think you need to get off this whole lobster thing.
Q: But these ID guys aren't looking into just who this intelligence is, are they?
A: No.
Q: Because they think it's God, right?
A: They don't say that.
Q: Because if they thought they saw evidence of giant superintelligent eyestalks peering down on them from under a celestial carapace, they'd be seriously bummed, wouldn't they?
A: I think this Q&A is over now."
