So Card sets up a bunch of straw men to knock them down. First he encapsulizes their words into sound bites, dismisses the sound bites and then explains why he dismisses the sound bites.
All the while forgetting that science isn't in the business of saying WHY anything happens at all. Might as well apply intelligent design to gravity in disputing why it's only seemingly random that gravity keeps us all from floating into space.
Intelligent Design as a philosophy I got no problem with. Intelligent Design as a scientific theory makes me nauseous.
