Atheists, what are your thoughts on the theory of intelligent design?

It looks to me like an extension of the Simulation Hypothesis, which I consider to have significant supporting evidence, though I won't say I'm convinced. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation... People may say that the idea that we are at this moment part of a computer simulation of some sort, is crazy or stupid. But I think it's possible.

The Matrix is Real 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnAXbuaQ... So I think Enformationism makes sense, when you look at how we're currently able to observe the structure of our reality, as is discussed in the Quantum Surreality page at the enformationism site, and the page after it. It also occurs to me that the stories of people who have "died" or been injured enough to have the experience of seeing their body from above (and son on) could fit in well with the simulation idea. If our consciousnesses and the physical forms we interact with are all part of the same informational domain, experiences like those wouldn't be unexpected, and to some extent, one's mind within such a domain could have a seemingly magical influence on otherwise seemingly solid or indirectly connected conditions.

I've never heard of it, and as I'm extremely busy getting Xmas ready and other practical things such as earning a living and doing the ironing, I have no time for weird theories which I can easily and happily live without.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
