I highly doubt that New York Magazine is a seething hotbed of Intelligent Design supporters. So it made me pause when, as I browsed
this articled linked by National Review's
Jonah Goldberg, I found the following diagram:
Anything happen to catch your eye? Don't see it? Let me help you:
"... a three step guide to reactivate the machines at the ends of your legs ... Your toes are designed to give you a powerful push forward - sending you striding smoothly into the next step."
Our toes are part of a
designed machine? But I thought suggesting something was designed necessarily meant that there must be a designer and that this kind of talk was strictly the stuff of theology.
Someone should let the New York Magazine editors know that their writers are surreptitiously slipping this loose theological talk into what some might consider a "scientific" article.
Maybe New York Magazine has some closet ID folks on its staff.
