The thumbs up is for my comment. ;-) The supreme self-righteousness of this blog post deserves a thumbs down.
From the page: Well you certainly do seem to have quite accurately sub-titled your blog as "the supremely self-righteous website of Nima Yousefi". The self-righteousness of this particulr post is self-evident. . .
The basic concept of "Intelligent Design" is by no means "ridiculous" nor is it "crap". There is actually fair bit of scientific evidence of various kinds that strongly suggests that the Universe is more likely to be the product of Intelligent Design than coming into being as a result of pure random chance. The "God Hypothesis" may not be necessary to purely secular science but it cannot be ruled out either. I do not see a huge difference between scientifically seeking evidence for the existence of an Intelligent Designer (as it were) and seeking evidence for the existence of alien intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe.
Richard Dawkins may well have produced an excellent book about the concept of evolution in `The Selfish Gene' but that does not mean that his narrow-minded views about religion are valid. After all, knowledge is the real weapon we use against Richard Dawkins' fundamentalist atheist dogma, and the more knowledge one possesses about religion the more clear the ridiculousness of anti-religious ideas like those in `The God Delusion' become. . .
The study of evolution actually does have something to do with the philosophical or theological matters of God if one believes in God or, more to the point, if God actually does exist and did actually create the Universe after engaging in what can be properly described as Intelligent Design. . . Any and all scientific facts tell us something about the mind of God if God exists. Intelligent Design has plenty to do with science if one does not arbitrarily rule out the "God hypothesis". Many early scientists were believers who were seeking to know more about the proverbial "mind of God" via their research into the workings of the world and the Universe. Plenty of modern scientists, even if they are a minority within the scientific community, are still doing so. Even Albert Einstein is on record as stating that he wanted to know how God thinks via his scientific research into the makings of the Universe, he even strongly suggested Intelligent Design in the Universe by saying:
"I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details."
"What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world."
"God does not play dice."
