So You Think You Are a Darwinian?

Cells, animals, apes, including that ridiculous naked ape who calls himself Man, are nothing more than gene carrying robots, carrying around junk DNA from all antiquity into an uncertain future. The human eye is one of the most inefficient mechanisms ever produced (compared with say, a fly's eye). An engineer who designed that would be fired.

If evolution by natural selection operating on the level of the selfish gene is not true, then you are left with one of the laziest, most incompetent engineers ever imagined, and this bumbling nincompoop is supposed to be operating on a geological and cosmic scale. We are either gene carrying robots as Dawkins and others have proved time and again, or we are puppets created by the most incompetent designer ever conceived.

Oh, and by the way, your incompetent designer theory still begs the question of whence the designer? It is the ultimate 747 in the junkyard, and so we have an infinite regress of "intelligent designers", each presumably even more incompetent than the last.

How tripe like this gets onto a technology forum boggles the imagination. Must we also give equal time to the Flat Earth Society and to Pastafarians? I'll retire to bedlam.
