why doesn't intelligent design work

It all starts from a very asked around question (at least in Romania): Do you, believe in God?
Usually the answers comes like a Gallup Poll: yes, no, don't know.

Humanity has dwelled in the realms of perfection ever since man discovered numbers (which is btw the second thing we know about development of human thought after the flint axes)
and we use mathematics like some sort of filter through wich we look at the world.
Classical philosophy, exact sciences, pozitivism, technology, everything depends on the fact that 1+1=2. This is the TRUTH
However, the world, the very fabric of reality that we happend to live in is not run, or made up by numbers alone.
Perfection, or what we think perfection is, does not exist. There is no Grand Design behind the evolution of life, nor does it exist in the skies above.
So whenever we look at a tree, or a rock or a human being and start thinking: Wow, it's such a complicated and amazing system, it must have been built somehow. Even across millions of years, it must have been built", take into consideration the fact that everything that there is (in life) is a mutation from something else.
A poplar is just some DNA that decided to go a different path. Noize in DNA (as Ikegami puts it)is the main engine driving the evolution forward, of course, but there is also another very important lesson that quantum mechanics and the latest advances in genome research can teach us:
The world is not set to operate on perfection. Equations can only take us so far(As Popper explains, on this path, the limits to human knoledge are always in sight). Behind it all lies the realm of chaos, the realm of probability, the realm of everchanging transgressions between to be or not to be.
We now know that the so called junk DNA (97% of it that did not seem to do anything)
actually does more than we thought. We found out this when we realised that decifring the DNA is only the tip of the eisberg. The rules and permutations between genes is a much more complicated and bewildering affair.
So is the realm of the atom. the 'God particle' (dubbed by a
scientist with a sense of humor), the Higgs Bosson is nothing more than the human mind's atempt to understand one of the most elusive questions of all time: why is there mass? that is: why we are here? why is there a we? why is there a here where we
are in?
And what did we found out? By using math (because empirical proof is still pending) we realised that at the very bottom of everyithing there is nothing except the chaotical and very fast movements of this particle. This in turn creates a field in which all other particles exist. The drag generated by this field applied to the movement of everything else is supposed to give them mass.
Daunting thought isn't it? To find out that underneath it all there is nothing but chaos and mutations and self-replicating results of the two which in turn integrate and desintegrate by rules we don't seem to understand. This may no longer be the order of numbers that we seem to cherish so much, but if we look at the results (a tree, a rock, a human) there is only one word that springs to mind: BEAUTY.



So while I don't think there's a God that created the world in seven days, LET ME BELIEVE IN A GOD THAT BELIEVES IN BEAUTY
