The Earth was Designed by Intelligent Aliens

Richard Dawkins refutes the most probable aspect of Intelligent Design in this LA Times article. While I disagree with him on a few things, I always love reading his work or listening to him speak. I believe that you can disagree with someone and yet still marvel at their amazing rhetorical and analytical skills. Dawkins is definitely one of the foremost thinkers of our time. His ability to take a position and defend it against all sorts of attacks is truly remarkable. And the entire time he is doing so, he never seems to get flustered or emotional or out of sorts. Please read this article for it's pure rhetorical splendor first and for the Intelligent Design/Evolution debate second.
