MOLINA, Eustoquio  y  TAMAYO, Manuel. Arguments and scientific interdisciplinary data about the imperfections of evolutionary design. INCI [online]. 2007, vol.32, n.9, pp.635-642. ISSN 0378-1844.

The intelligent design argument is very weak because it can be formulated inversely. In this way, some imperfections of the universe and the Earth, the geological chronology of the appearance of life in millions of years, the existence of intermediate fossil forms and species are made evident. Besides, quite relevant examples of phylogenies and numerous examples about the way that some living species were designed by evolution also exist. It is shown that the evolution of the organisms is far from being perfect, as it would have been created by an intelligent designer, instantaneously with new organs and with all the materials available. However, it is sufficiently good to adapt the organism to the new environmental needs. Natural selection is blind, but it is not final, lacks forethought and takes advantage of restricted organs of the ancestors and their immediate advantage; therefore, the initial simple models, have been improved through time and, sometimes, they diversify towards unexpected goals. These interdisciplinary data, mainly geological and biological, contradict the arguments of intelligent design, such as its supposition of an irreducible complexity.
