Some have suggested that Hurricane Katrina argues against Intelligent Design. Daniel Schorr of NPR went so far as to suggest that the Intelligent Designer "had a lot to answer for" in Katrina.
Donald T. Williams is correct when he writes in Touchstone magazine's latest issue:
"Surely the evidence points quite the other way? We inhabit a universe in which people who build coastal cities below sea level, between a lake and a river that are above sea level, are eventually going to pay for it. If this is evidence at all, it is evidence for Intelligent Design, not against it. It tells us that the design of the universe is working just fine, which is why the design of New Orleans produced exactly what should have been expected. If God exempted human beings from the laws of nature whenever we do something stupid, as the design critics apparently want, then we would indeed have reason to doubt the intelligence of his design."

Man as the center of the universe makes for a very small center indeed.
Schorr's presumptuous comment reminds me of the Apostle Paul's analogy of the clay complaining and chewing out the Potter.
Schorr's case of cephalomegaly, acquired while a CBS Nixon enemies list circa Watergate hero, hasn't been cured, and probably wont!
Enjoying the blog Paul, even though I just recently found it.
