"New Theory" Reported by Newsweek is 3,500 Years Old

The MSNBC website today is reporting this shocking story about a new theory on the origin of human life.

Apparently, radical scientists are claiming that all life can be characterized by an "intelligent design". That is to say that life was created by a higher level being, and our complex nature is evidence of our divine creation.

Interestingly enough, this theory has been previously proposed and can be found here.

All sarcasm aside, modern theories related to intelligent design have been promoted for many years. For an excellent synopsis of the theory, read Darwin's Black Box by Lehigh University biochemist Michael Behe.
