Its explanation of the Cambrian is intelligent design, but the intelligence that did the designing does not have to be the single, eternal, universal, planning, preprogramming or dabbling mind which you call God. -I see only chance or design. You want design by amazingly brilliant cells, not described by Shapiro. Their sentience in his words is minimal, responding to simple stimuli. My designer has true planning ability. Your cells do not.
