Out of the controversial debate pitting the theory of evolution against the theory of intelligent design has emerged a new theory, dumb design, which some experts believe may explain the televangelist Pat Robertson.

The theory of dumb design holds that human beings were designed by a superior being, but one who mysteriously designed certain humans in a particularly dumb way.

“If you take a look at Pat Robertson’s brain and mouth, and how they work or do not work in concert, you have a fairly persuasive argument that the theory of dumb design is valid,” said Dr. Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota, one of the leading advocates of the dumb design theory.

The theory of dumb design began to gain traction in August, when Rev. Robertson called upon the U.S. to assassinate Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.


But even an adherent of dumb design like Dr. Logsdon warns against putting too much stock in the theory, adding, “No one theory could possible explain all the things Pat Robertson says.”

1. I prefer "malevolent design"

It's the idea that a god intentionally created a flawed world (and folks like Robertson) just to be mean.

2. Interview with God

US Magazine: God why did you create such a flawed world?

God: (flicking pistachio nots of the armchair) Ah just to f**k with the humans My ME! do they ever totally flip out over stupid sh*t

3. I refer to it as "schizophrenic design"

Depending on his mood and attitude, God created what came to mind.

4. Superior being????

Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.
