Re: How does intelligent design explain vestigial organs
I dont think it bothers. It's modus operandi seems to be finding things evolution cant (so far) explain and saying Aha! Any actual accounting for biological facts seems a subsidiary goal.

ID doesn't explain anything. Explanation is not the role it evolved to serve. chez [/ QUOTE ] Typical of all branches of dogmatic thought.

Re: How does intelligent design explain vestigial organs
I'm sure their reasoning goes like this:
You can't prove vestigial organs are completely useless. /me playing devil's advocate. (or is it God's advocate?)

Of course, its entirely legitimate that evolution IS the mechanism that God used to accomplish his goals (forgiving my use of anthropomorphic terms) just like its entirely legitimate that evolution is the invisible, immaterial (cloaking devices, obv) aliens way of running some massive experiment.

The most common is called "guided evolution" (evolution happens, but it could never happen randomly, so god helps out with the details).
