Debate #9

I think my lack of opposition to Intelligent Design is due to the fact that I don't see Evolution as being particularly more valid than a properly expressed ID theory. Darwin gives people who don't want to feel beholden to any higher power the comfort of living in a universe without one, whether that's reality or not.

I submit that "god" would be a perfectly natural explanation. Not an god in particular, or even a diety, but simply the intelligence which designed. Creators of the monolith, for example.

Ah, so are we talking about Raelism?

Care to articulate a testable hypothesis based on the theory that the diversity life is the result of extraterrestrial influence? And propose the test for the hypothesis too. And, remember, evolution cannot be a better or equally likely explanation for the observed phenomenon. You may begin...now.
