The following little quote is from the Institute for Creation Research article telling of their recent purchase of a fossil specimen.  While the base upon which the specimen was “intelligently designed”, evidently the fossil was not!

The Edmontosaurus fossil that ICR purchased was offered at auction here in Dallas, but it had no bidders. ICR was able to negotiate a substantially reduced price, for which we are thankful. The auction brochure described the skeleton as “mounted on a beautifully designed minimalist base, custom fitted with high quality castors for ease of mobility.” The base was described as “intelligently designed.”

Isn’t it interesting that anyone can recognize evidence of design except for those who evaluated this intricate skeleton? It evolved, according to evolutionary thinking, by random mutation and mindless natural selection, with no intelligence involved. ICR plans to house this specimen in a future museum on our Dallas campus, and we look forward to using it to counter such ludicrous claims.
