| That Guy said: Yeah right now ID is more of a "spin" that you can put on science more than an alternative explanation of it. I think its called the anthropic principle. "The earth and the universe has been fine tuned to allow for our existence, so therefore it must have been designed that way since there is no way for it to be random." It is true that everything in the universe came about in a way that allows for our existence, but depending on whether or not you subscribe to the anthropic principle, then you can arrive at a couple different conclusions. |
The anthropic principle is fine, so long as "fine tuned for life" means "bloody leathal to all known forms of life in 99.99999999% of the cosmos," by which account New York City has been supremely fine tuned for the existence of elephants.
