Intelligent Design makes me crazy. It's not that it's an argument against evolution, it's that my mind is screaming, "HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT NOTICE THAT WE DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT UNIVERSES TO TELL WHAT'S PLAUSIBLE?"
I don't understand. I think you might have said "DON'T" when you didn't mean to.
No, I meant that if we had a bunch of universes, we'd know something about how much complexity is typical.
On the other hand, this might not be enough information to judge whether all the universes had been created.
However, what I've seen of Intelligent Design is the idea that it's implausible for life to have evolved on its own, and I don't think we have enough information to judge plausibility. I'm inclined to think that people who find evolution implausible don't have a feeling for the huge number of molecular interactions there have been in life's history.
