For some reason the concept of Intelligent Design was in my head on the way home this evening. I was wondering why God himself isn’t a subject of the ‘theory’. If there is a God who fits the generally accepted mould of omnipotent, omniscient Divine Creator, then surely he is the most irreducibly complex thing around. If you believe Intelligent Design, God himself must have been designed by a greater creator… and that implies a never-ending chain of ever more complex creators. It makes no sense.
The idea of complexity slowly, ever so slowly, arising out of simplicity through evolution is just so simple, logical and believable by comparison.
Here endeth the lesson.

No matter what your belief, there is always a point of saying, "Well, where did that come from?"
