Hence; ignorance. The appearance of design is not the same thing as design at the hand of a intelligent designer.

As I said, "Reproduction (copying) with variation, plus selective pressure = design."

Universal Darwinism: If you have creatures that vary, if there is a struggle for life such that nearly all the creatures die, and if the very few that survive pass on whatever characteristic allowed them to survive, their offspring must be better adapted to their environment than their ancestors.

Daniel Dennett paraphrases that with the idea of "Design out of chaos without the aid of Mind".

This is central to evolutionary theory.


The Theory of Evolution isn't going to come tumbling down because zeemike looked in a dictionary at the word 'design'.
