Everyone:
This short litte vignette started as part of a post in the "Problem with Intelligent Design" thread, in a response to Wade. I started writing it, and then I go t carried away, and the skit lost all semblance of a rational argument, and I ended up creating something amusing, instructive, potentially offensive... but mostly amusing.
Regarldess, it has no place in a discussion such as the one Wade and I were having, but I didn't have the heart to throw it away, so here it is. For your "enjoyment"/"disgust"/"whatever, I don't care"
======================================================
Scenes from the Intelligent Design Research Lab:
(or, perhaps, the world's LAZIEST biochemistry lab)
======================================================
Researcher One: Damn! I GIVE UP!!!
Researcher Two: Woah, buddy - Calm down! What're you working on?
R1: The clotting pathway - it's just SO COMPLEX!!!
R2: Uh.. Yeah, so?
R1: I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW IT EVOLVED!!!
R2: Well... That's the point of this lab, guy. We're trying to figur-
R1: BUT I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE!!!
R2: DUDE! We... Are... Here... To... Fig.. Ure... That... Ques.. tion... out... Of course we don't know. If we did, we'd be drinking champagne and celebrating.
R1: (teeth clenched, rubbing forehead... suddenly looks up, wide-eyed) Wait..... What if....
R2: Uh.. Yeah?
R1: If... (to self) YESSS!!!!
R2: ... ...
R1: I've solved it!
R2: You have?
R1: Yes! The reason we can't figure out how it evolved is...
R2:
R1: It was designed!!!
R2: ... ... by... who?
R1: Well. I don't know. But my theory is that is was designed by someone... someone... Intelligent! YES!!!
R2:
R1: YES! An Intelligent... DESIGNER!!! YES!!
R2: OK - so who designed it?
R1: ...
R2: Well?
R1: I don't know... Someone... Else...
R2: You've got to be kidding me....
R1: No! Seriously! We can just stop working now! Our job is done! It was designed!
R2: Is this a joke?
R1: Yeah! No! I mean.. No! I'm serious! I'm going to publish this result!
R2: Publish... WHAT?!? You didn't do anything except give up!
R1: No! My amazing discovery!
R2: Your discovery of...
R1: The Intelligent Design!
R2: OK - so who designed it?
R1: uh... No.. no... uh... I DON'T CARE!!!
R2: what?!?!
R1: Yeah! I don't care who designed it! It doesn't matter! It was designed because we can't figure it out right now this very second! And I DISCOVERED IT!
R2: So... If there's this "Designer," then who is it?
R1: I DON'T CARE!!!
R1: If you don't care, then who does?
-END-
hope you enjoyed it
Duane
