You knew I was bound to be predisposed towards a theory of creation named the Design By Committee Theory ;-).  But this lighthearted look at Intelligent Design points out the (to me) biggest self-inconsistency in that theory - that if you look at the wonders of material creation and infer there was a Divine Creator, you must also look at the evils of material creation and infer that the Creator is either evil or inept, to be fought against in the name of Good, or to be ignored as an inconsequential or random force in our lives.

As Jacob Weisburg of Slate points out, when you assume that matter and material phenomenon is all there is, you really have no rational choice but to find that the material evidence for evolution fundamentally opposes the very existence of a material God.

Thank goodness God is not material.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit [John 4:24]
