Not Very Intelligent Design: On the Origin, Creation and Evolution of the Theory of Intelligent Design

Do humans have the best eyesight? No.

Do humans have the best hearing? No.

Are humans the fastest runners? No.

Are humans the best swimmers? No.

Can humans fly? No.

This body of ours, is it a good design?

Or could it be better?

Not Very Intelligent Design takes an irreverent look at the human body, analyzes every part of it, and awards each part a mark out of ten.

Eyes that go blurry at middle age? Out of ten? Three? Throats that can easily cause death by choking? Seriously?

Not Very Intelligent Design is written in a tone that's light-hearted and sometimes mocking which can be upsetting to those who believe in creationism. On the other hand, if you're open-minded enough to have a good laugh at the world around you, including your own body, there's a pretty good chance you'll enjoy it.

Some Amazon reviews: "An extremely observant and sometimes laugh out loud book that was thoroughly enjoyable! Keep writing sir and I will keep reading. Your wit, subtle, and silly, is absolutely delightful! I will never view my body parts the same way...thanks?"

"This book is extremely funny, but it does get the point across: We were either designed by natural selection or a complete idiot."

"Laughed out loud in many places and nodded in complete agreement throughout. Witty, engaging writing that makes a strong case for a Not Very Intelligent Design(er)."

"Every creationist should read this for some insight into how absurd the notion of intelligent design really is. It might also be worthwhile reading for Richard Dawkins whose excellent but meandering tomes could benefit from a dash more levity. Seriously, if humans were the result of intelligent design we would be very different creatures and Ingman makes it very clear why."
