OT, is there any chance we could have a 'Preview' button for the comments? It would be nice to check to see if my tags are correct before the comment is submitted.

What a totally stupid idea that was! I'm thinking though, have you ever played a video game and tried to get a low score on purpose?

I speak, of course, of Incompetent Design, or ID. We can see the marks of an Incompetent Designer everywhere, but we need go no farther than our own bodies and the myriad engineering flaws within. The knees can be permanently blown out with relatively little force if applied at the proper sides, a blow to the jaw can shock the central nervous system and induce unconsciousness, the collar bone is remarkably weak and can become strained through overwork or easily damaged with a good blow, a hit to the back of the head can easily kill someone, and any doctor or fighter can show you the vast array of pressure points in the human body. Asides these irresponsible back doors in the human frame, there are many inherent design flaws, such as waste disposal sharing sexual organs, leading to risk of yeast infection and urinary tract infections, and breathing and eating sharing the pharynx, leading to risk of choking and asphyxiation. Any software designers who left such glaring flaws in the design of a major product would never work in industry again, and any software testers who let such glaring breaks in the code pass through them would lose their jobs. Clearly, the designer of life must be a bumbling simpleton, worthy of scorn and derision, for leaving such mistakes that seem suggestive of gradual, unsupervised adaptation to the environment of living creatures, accepting changes that are not necessarily optimal but merely workable. Clearly, our Incompetent Designer has not produced good work, and deserves no praise or worship.

A few people in Florida don't like the fact that evolution is actual science and ID came up again. FSM was mentioned in several newspapers as an alternative theory.
