Possible flaw in Intelligent Design?
Advertisements [?]
Bit of a philosophy thread, I suppose, but...

Say we accept Intelligent Design... The Intelligent Designer is a being of Morals, and expects the same of us.

But we are designed to Lust. The simple mechanism is that it causes the race, the species to go on. More complicated is that it's the spice of life.

So how do they answer it, the ID people? Is it just another sin to be tossed on the bonfire, to be cleared away once they accept the IDer? But it's part of the design!

Should they not revel in it?

When they go into abstractions such as ID, they are vulnerable to the abstract morality, and let go the absolute purity/certainty/"morality" of the Judeo-Christian beliefs. If they want to come up with a more "academically pleasing" nomenclature, make sure they get all that comes along with it.
