It is not the role of ID theory to judge morality. Some are downright ugly, like pipe bombs and IEDs built to terrorize people. Moreover, not all intelligently designed explosions are beautiful. Sometimes the glowing fountains lighting up the clouds of smoke are accompanied by lightning - electrical explosions in the atmosphere. Photographers will risk their lives to capture the awesome power of volcanic eruptions, especially the stunning fireworks at night. They travel thousands of miles to Hawaii to watch Kilauea, or to Italy to watch Vesuvius. Some people find volcanic eruptions beautiful. The answer is not as intuitively obvious as it sounds.īeauty is not the answer. As you will see, though, it doesn’t ruin the point of the story.Īfter enjoying your next fireworks show, ask your friends, “What’s the difference between fireworks and volcanoes?” They might think you’re telling a joke, but this is serious fun. It’s a simulation someone made on his computer. Give a round of applause, for example, if you think this is one of the most beautiful fireworks shows you’ve ever seen:Īlas, we regret to inform you it’s fake. But explosions? Can we infer design in things that go bang? Absolutely. We’ve shown how to do it with a Rubik’s Cube or a geoglyph. Rushmore example is good, but there are many more you can add to your arsenal. Design advocates need pithy illustrations to communicate ID principles to lay people.
