Intelligent design


A casual search for  water and some of its anomalous properties led me to this creative use of science.
There are many unique properties of water, including the density of water, the chemical and the physical properties of water. These are properties that water should not have according to what we presently know about chemistry and physics. These characteristics strongly point to water as the result of Intelligent Design. Intelligent Design Theory should be taught in school.

There is a whole thesis here

BTW, here I came across the H2 hydrogen atom, reminding me of the many exasperated comments going "if it is  diatomic, how can it be an atom?"

I don't know if you agree with it or not, but that is a pretty bad argument. Just because something is unexplained doesn't mean it is an intelligent design. There are and were plenty of things unexplained but we explained them by the scientific method and not giving up. The intelligent design theory seems to me as more of a way to shed responsibility than an answer.
