A book and a cover

There are many reasons not to find merit in the theory of Intelligent Design, chief among them is following it to its logical conclusion.

Today I'd like to talk about another flaw, which is the implied Intelligence of the designer.

I ask you, if you had unlimited knowledge, unlimited talents, and unlimited time in which to create a world would it include:

The Ku Klux Klan?

Despotic tyrants?

Plagues?

The Khmer Rouge?

Starvation?

Forced child labor?

Tsunamis?

Volcanoes?

Or catastrophic floods?

If this world was designed, wasn't the creator more likely a Sadist than a being whose intentions were good?
