To someone who advocates intelligent design, does the sequence of these organisms in the fossil record simply mean that the intelligent designer was incompetent, he kept making things and they went extinct, extinct, or that he was restless -- "I'll try this, I'll try that, I'll try the other thing", -- or does it mean that in fact these organisms are related by descent with modification? — Ken Miller [In "Resolved: That evolutionists should acknowledge creation" Firing Line, 4 December 1997, p. 50.]
