Here's a simple thought experiment: If Evolution is false, what created swine flu?
So after looking up what (wikipedia says) "Intelligent Design" means, I realized it wasn't what I thought it was. We need a new name for what I had been thinking it was: The belief that the universe was created by an intelligence (i.e. God), but which doesn't violate our existing scientific knowledge. (Perhaps there is a name for this and I just don't know it).
I don't think its a stretch to think that the universe could have been created by God, rather than some random events. We simply use science to understand how God created it.
The only other possible explanation is that God is a dick, and I don't believe that.
Well, fundamentalists would try to argue that "evil" created it and God simply allowed it to happen. But I think there are other explanations such as: maybe things like that exist to challenge us and push us to create solutions, or perhaps God is a scientist himself and we're all part of his elaborate experiment and tampering with it to much would taint the results.
After all, if there were no disease and no problems and everyone was peaceful and happy there wouldn't really be any motivation for us to better ourselves and a complete lack of anything bad would more or less prove the existence of God, which would negate that whole "free will" thing.
