Alexandre passos, Unkown,

you can believe in any matter of things, why not in intelligent falling when you're at it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_falling

The question is not what one can or can't believe, the question is: where does the evidence point to? And where are you ignoring evidence because you would _prefer_ one answer to another?

Let evidence guide your beliefs, not beliefs guide your appraisal of evidence.
