“Intelligent design is exactly as questionable as chance. It is simply not a plausible solution to the riddle of statistical improbability. The higher the improbability, the less plausible intelligent design becomes. On closer inspection, intelligent design doubles the problem. Once again, this is because the designer himself (the designer, or the thing that designed the project) raises the problem of his own origin. Any entity capable of intelligently designing something as improbable as "Aristolochia trilobata" (or a universe) would have to be even more improbable than "Aristolochia". Far from putting an end to vicious regression, God takes revenge by making it worse.”

Richard Dawkins, To put an end to God, Robert Laffont, Paris, 2008.
