"Intelligent design"

Oh, I don't think so.

Is that phrase even used anymore, or did it run its course of insanity and die off?

I haven’t heard of since there was a clear explanation of how the eye evolved - since that one was a specific example they were referring to

Considering the human eye is basically backwards, I always found it funny people would try to use it as an example of an intelligent creator

Like we seriously have all the working bits in the path of light, permanently blocking our vision in spots. We just hide it with some post-production brain magic, and I'm supposed to believe that's evidence of an intelligent creator?

While you're right, it's also funny to say that god was a software developer under deadline pressure
