“Intelligent Design?” Hello. Wasn’t this covered 700 years ago?

Once again, ding dongs who don’t study and read books have thrust something dumb upon the masses. “Intelligent Design” is the new rallying call of the Kristian religious folk who want to get science out of our schools. They have put on lab coats and are pretending to be smart and came up with the theorum that nature is so darn complex, that there must be a God. Well, if they had ever read their own sordid history they would know that this is another name for the Teleological Argument that was most famously put forward by Thomas Aquinas. This is one of many that are under the header of Ontological Arguments: Philosophical arguments to prove God.
As someone who has a scientific mind and believes in a creator, I am regularly embarrassed by these dolts. Using logic to prove God is like trying to explain how a microwave works to fish. The medium not only does not work, it can’t work. The one thing that I can say about God is that God is “beyond definition, because to define something is to limit something, and God is without limit.” That is, if you say God is a man, you say God is not a woman and that means simply being a woman is something God is incapable of and that’s pretty limited. God is “whom naught but silence can express.”
So please, stop making people who believe in God look stupid. When so many zealots and imbeciles want to speak for me, it makes me hide my religion. I do not want to be associated with those folks.

From Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy:
“I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”
“But,” says Man, “the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn’t it? It proves you exist, and so therefore, you don’t. Q.E.D..”
“Oh dear,” says God, “I hadn’t thought of that,” and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
