There's something almost "V. like" about this latest hybridization
of technology and religion called "Intelligent Design."

I'm not at all sure that this attack on the theory of evolution which
seems to accept almost all of the scientific explanation of how
the universe has evolved, excepting the transition from the inanimate
to the animate, doesn't signal a last desperate gasp by the belief
community before the final plunge into Scurvhamism- seduced
over one by one into worship of the clock-like perfection of the
material world.
The question that looms for me is where do they draw the line
between the designer and the designed? Stencil may have been
able to avail himself of the third person, but he was only framing
a part of the whole. It's more difficult to be objective when one is
responsible for the whole shebang.
