| I think this idea is ridiculous. If the human mind can evolve from simpler minds then I don't think any physical attribute of any animal could be labeled "too complex" to have developed from gradual changes.
Even if these organisms developed from some process other than gradual evolutionary change, I find it doubtful that they came from some the pre-thought design of some intelligent being. You could just as easily theorize they arrived on the planet from some far away asteroid, also farfetched but more plausible than an intelligent designer.
I think the proponents of this theory are just trying so hard to find some kind of evidence to support their religiously based claims, and they're not making logical claims based on evidence.
Alas! the forbidden fruits were eaten,
And thereby the warm life of reason congealed.
A grain of wheat eclipsed the sun of Adam,
Like as the Dragon's tail dulls the brightness of the moon. |
