While it indisputable that evolution takes place, it is also indisputable that we don't yet know how it takes place. Nobody can thus far explain the gap, or better chasm between organic chemicals and supposedly primitive viruses, nor how a polyp of about 2 billion years ago already had nerves and muscles. To say that the proponents of the thoery of intelligent design are correct or incorrect is therefore a leap of faith. When Mr. Hitchens calls such proponents fools he displays not only his lack of knowledge about biology, but also his arrogance. On his path to humility Mr. Hitchens might read up on Einstein's views on this subject.
