I do think Chris' comparison of evolution and design is terribly flawed.
Perhaps its biggest error is in the assumption that design and evolution
are opposites. They are not, as design could employ evolution or evolution
itself could be designed. A better contrast would be to compare design
at the hands of an intelligent agent vs the changes produced by
non-intelligent
causes. But as it stands, Chris' list looks like a comparison of evolution
with creationism, and while all creationists accept design, not all design
proponents accept creationism.
