Yet another weird SF fan


I'm a mathematician, a libertarian, and a science-fiction fan. Common sense? What's that?

Who Is behind Intelligent-Design Theories?

After looking at the comments on the Brothers Judd article I mentioned in the preceding post, I realized who is backing Intelligent-Design theories. It should have been obvious. It's Microsoft.

Intelligent-Design theories that oppose Darwin's theory explaining the fact of evolution do not fit in very well with the people who might be expected to back it. Fundamentalists oppose any acknowledgment of extended evolution and most theistic evolutionists can regard evidence of Intelligent Design of the laws of physics as sufficient. Microsoft, however, can use Intelligent-Design theories to try to support their version of central planning. If any large, useful system requires a single source to design it, then Linux, etc. are discredited from the start.

I see a flaw in your theory. Wouldn't it require Microsoft's designs to be intelligent?
