It is based on the everyday life<br />Experience that natural selection could not have produced<br />Such a catastrophic outcome. Optimists and the religiously<br />Inclined will naturally prefer evolution as an explanation,<br />Since ascribing Design to the state of humanity is almost<br />Unbearable. For the rest of us, we must continue to insist<br />That the theory of Flawed Design be taught cheek and jowl,<br />Neck and neck, mano a mano, with Mr. Darwin's<br />Speculations. The Theory postulates a creator who is Mentally<br />Impaired, either through some genetic defect or because of<br />Substance abuse, and is predisposed to behave in a sociopathic<br />Manner; although some Benign Flawed Design theorists, as<br />They call themselves, posit the radical alternative that the<br />Creator was distracted or inattentive and the flaws are not the Result of Malevolent Will but incompetence or incapacity.<br /><br />The poem by Charles Bernstein ran on the op-ed page of Philadelphia Inquirer recently.
