Default Evolution and the Grand Design

There was a letter in the newspaper recently about evolution, in which the
writer pointed out that the Devonian fishes which eventually evolved into
amphibians already had the humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, and fibula
which are necessary for legs (and arms). Absolutely blew me away.
The truth of evolution is far more awe-inspiring than the Creationists'
nonsense. There is a new form of Creationism called Grand Design which they are
trying to sneak into the public schools. They are ignoring the fact that each
religion (as well as atheism) has its own way of interpreting the Grand Design,
or whether it exists. This does not belong in public school.
