In Attack of the Super-Intelligent Purple Space Squid Creators, Ronald Bailey poses several questions to cdesign proponentists about the processes of their designer.

A video of the debate at which Bailey made his remarks can be found at C-SPAN at Debate on Intelligent Design. I haven't viewed it yet.

I've now watched the debate. Interesting with some nicely turned phrases and arguments here and there, and worth watching for two reasons. First, it's an opportunity to see how the debate is being carried out by those who can actually think while speaking in front of a microphone. Second, for those on the evolution side you get to see first hand the incredibly puzzling irrationality of intelligent design proponents who think that if something looks designed then that is evidence that it was designed.
