We are surrounded by evidence of intelligent design. Take but one example: the suckling mechanism of the whale. The whale is a mammal which suckles its young underwater. It does so by means of a watertight cap around the mother’s nipple which fits tightly around the baby’s snout so as not to allow the entrance of sea water. Such a mechanism does not allow of a transitional form which adapts slowly to its environment. It does not allow for a gradual evolutionary process. It must exist perfectly formed for the purpose or the baby whale dies. How else could such a mechanism exist if not brought about by an intelligent and purposeful creative force? (Link)
Even UncommonDescent jumped on the bandwagon.
But then a whale biologist responded. Ouch. How embarrassing. I’m glad I’m not an IDist.
If a suckling whale got a little sea water in its gut instead of milk it would certainly not die. If it got a lot of sea water in it’s gut, the milk would become diluted, and the young whale could die or just become smaller and weaker than those whose suckling mechanism was more efficient. If it didn’t grow as large, it might not be able to compete with the more efficient sucklers. In turn, a weaker, smaller whale is not able to attract a mate as well as the stronger, larger ones. Uh Oh! Guess whose genes might be removed from the local whale gene pool.
