Question Everything
Since "artificial selection" is nothing more than another term for selective breeding, who does the ID crowd claim is doing the selecting?
Although ID has been adopted by the creationist crowd, it is not a purely religious concept. Not God-Designed, just "intelligence-designed". "Artificial selection" is another way to say "ID" without association with Christian fundamentalists.
But yes, call it artificially selected, or intelligently designed - call it what you will, let's talk about the entity that does the selecting - let's talk about what intelligence is, let's talk about the difference between what is alive, and what is not alive - what causes something to become self-aware, what provides something the ability to think and act for itself, instead of just eroding away in the wind. What makes something want to survive?
