Ray,

I'm with you regarding our not being smart enough. Along similar lines, 
t seems to me that to ascribe "intelligent design" to a Supreme Being, 
based on our paltry human ideas of intelligence, is close to blasphemy, 
and pretty durn arrogant, or at best, well, limited..

    Paula, since I am an agnostic it means that we are not convinced God 
exists, 
 but don't rule it out either. It means we don't know. No "agnostic" 
  scientist would believe in "Intelligent Design" which implies a 
creator. 
 
  I don't think we are smart enough to understand "God" if it exists. 
I'm not.
