Something other than a god being the intelligent designer?

All I know about IDers I learned from "Expelled". I don't know if Ben Stein is considered a moderate Ider, but at the end of the movie, when he gets Richard Dawkins to admit the possibility of an alien designer, he makes it seem like the triumph of the century. I got the impression it wasn't all about God, but just the layman frustration of being unable to comprehend how complex life started by natural means. source

Are all university graduates very intelligent?

I am considered the 'clever' guy in my social circle. I am the only one who didnt finish school or go to university. source

Should Intelligent Design Be Taught In School?

I don't think it should be taught as a required course but perhaps as a possible elective. However, I do not think that the teaching of this subject is any religion pushing its beleifs on another person, it doesn't even mention God. It is simply just another theoretical way of looking at how the universe was conceived. Even science hasn't been able to explain this with anything more than a theory. For some strange reason some people become deeply offended if there is anything at all that they could miscontrue to be of a religious nature, being taught in school. I think people make too big of a deal out of it personally. source

Is malaria intelligent?

I think you could call it successful, but I don't think the word intelligent applies. Viruses are just as successful but they're little more than a packet of genetic material, and it's debatable whether a virus could be considered to be life at all, let alone intelligent life. source

How do OW here feel about intelligent men?

I am very intelligent and can name the capitals of every world country etc. The problem is my intelligence seems to do no good in the dating world. I know that women my age and younger do not seem to like guys who are intelligent. I have no luck with women my age and younger, and older women seem to be the only women who like me. I have noticed that older women that I know seem to like men who are intelligent though more so than younger women and women my age. I am just curious as to what women's feelings here on ageless love are on dating a smart man and such. source
