tell people who doubt #evolution:

"look at your feet

you can't tell me that didn't used to be a hand. why the fuck can you wiggle your toes? what the fuck are even your toes? yeah yeah balance, gait, etc- that's just making what you got work. which is obviously something that until very recently was a hand, that is now halfway to turning into a hoof or pad or some tripod thing in another couple million years. it's not an #intelligentDesign! the human foot is fucking stupid"

Yup. Omnivalent agents who can/might do anything in/per "mysterious ways" is always the more probable explanation for any event. Never mind proteins or solar systems, I'm talking a slot machine sequence, a roll of a die, or a flip of a coin. Heck, even a negative roll of a die. Like, the probability would be 1, if you assume such an agent, who desires a specific state of affairs "because reasons".

William Albert Dembski is an American who is one of the main pushers of the pseudoscience of intelligent design, specifically his unfalsifiable concept of "specified complexity".

Unusually for a creationist, he does in fact have some actual credentials: a Ph.D in mathematics from the University of Chicago, a Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. Now, if only one of those fine institutions recognized Intelligent Design as being anything but an absolute hodgepodge of nonsense, he'd be set.

Thus, despite having been educated at real universities, he "lectures" and "does research" at institutions that are at the very deep end of overtly faith-driven #pseudoscience.
