On the topic of intelligent design Take for example a computer's operating system and its hard drive. You could associate this to the human mind and the physical brain. The operating system needs to be on the hard drive, hooked up to a working computer, to use all the functions of the operating system. No matter how much you zoom in and look at the hard drive, you will never see what the operating system is capable of. Zooming in on the brain will never get you a glimpse of where concsiousness hides. Can the operating system exist outside of the hard drive? Yes but, it is completly worthless sitting there on its installation cd. Zooming in on this disk will still not give you a look at all the awesome things it can do. It needs to be in a vessel that can use all of its features. Can the mind exist outside the physical brain? probably, but much like the installation disk, what use is a dormant consiousness? plus there is no way to get a consiousness out of a brain, there are no cd burners that hook up to our heads. the intelligent choices our parents made in selecting a partner designed us. same as their parents did and so on. if A.I. takes over the world say a million years from now, would they be trying to zoom in on their hard drives to see there operating systems. or wonder of a way of taking the Artifial intelligence they have off their drives? Would they wonder if they were made by a higher power that used intelligent design? (Or would some say, like the Linux OS, as it goes along people now and in the future selectively make the program better and better and find a way to make the program test and do for itself to find a way through out time to become better and better and evolve into a highly complex stable OS.) would they be trying to know everything there is to know about there original operating system God creator? Could their minds understand what it is to be the all omnipotent Bill Gates?
