sweet effay

This is very funny.

I always enjoy reading the ridiculous pronouncements of advocates of Intelligent Design (they don't like it if you call them Creationists these days). In fact I think that one of the main arguments against Intelligent Design is that the people who champion it are so obviously flawed from a design point of view.

I particularly like the way that they are arguing that emperor penguins demonstrate the moral value of monogamy by conveniently ignoring the fact that penguins shag somebody new every year. I bet they'd do it more often if they weren't worried that they'd get stuck with looking after another egg with no food for months on end.

If the lifecycle of the emperor penguin really was evidence of Intelligent Design, surely their creator would not have arranged it so that the poor little sods had to trudge seventy miles away from their food source in order to raise their eggs. Perhaps he was having a laugh at their expense.
