People with a religious mind frame still suffer from the naive, lazy, and ancient misconception that: "the universe looks and feels extremely complex and accurately harmonized. Therefore, it cannot be explained and understood by the human mind, and a higher, more intelligent being should be in charge."
As if they have not been informed about the scientific discoveries of the past few centuries. Some could be excused considering that they have not had access to sources of information. But what can be said about the rest of them?
There are a few groups among these of people:
The conservative activists. They have a solid position regarding this matter, believe in creationism, and are usually unable to back it up by invalidating evolution in a proper manner.
The confused, and ordinary, pacificists. They probably wouldn't care either way, their lives doesn't depend on it (and yet it does), have not much scientifical knowledge regarding the subject, and basically do not care to familiarize themselves with the concept.
The confused, and intellectual, activists. They admit that the change exists, they believe in evolution, and yet, they believe the universe requires a designing brain of supreme intellectual power while they agree that many events and processes are jump-started by very simple and basic actions and reactions.
How can men of science, logic and rationality overlook such obvious paradox, make an irrational assumption, and proceed to prove something using the false assumption?
