“This present-day version of God of the gaps goes by a fresh name: ‘intelligent design.’ The term suggests that some entity, endowed with a mental capacity far greater than the human mind can muster, created or enabled all the things in the physical world that we cannot explain through scientific methods. An interesting hypothesis. But why confine ourselves to things too wondrous or intricate for us to understand, whose existence and attributes we then credit to a superintelligence? Instead, why not tally all those things whose design is so clunky, goofy, impractical, or unworkable that they reflect the absence of intelligence? And what comedian designer configured the region between our legs-an entertainment complex built around a sewage system? Stupid design could fuel a movement unto itself. It may not be nature's default, but it's ubiquitous. Yet people seem to enjoy thinking that our bodies, our minds, and even our universe represent pinnacles of form and reason. Maybe it's a good antidepressant to think so. But it's not science-not now, not in the past, not ever.” Articles and Links on Neil deGrasse Tyson Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Biography Neil deGrasse Tyson - The Sky Is Not the Limit Super Stargazer - astrophysicist Neil De Grasse Tyson - Brief Article Neil deGrasse Tyson and the Delusions of Space Enthusiasts Publications - Past and Future Neil deGrasse Tyson on Answers.com Astronomers of the African Diaspora Meet
