For some reason my gmail "Clip" had an ad for this piece of crap movie with the tag line 'Expelled - Why Big Science seeks to refute Intelligent Design'.

I'm fairly confident "Big Science" (should such a thing exist) seeks to refute intelligent design for the following (non-exclusive) list of reasons:

• It requires "special pleading" since the Intelligent Designer (which must necessarily be a complex entity) does not have a designer.


• It employs demonstrably false definitions of information.


• It fails Occam's razor by postulating a designer to explain phenomena which we can see evolving by natural selection or uses a designer to fill gaps in our current knowledge as a pseudo-explanation.
