In a courtroom in 2005, biologist Ken Miller criticized the claims of intelligent design. After noting that 99.9% of the organisms that have ever lived on earth are now extinct, he said that “an intelligent designer who designed things, 99.9% of which didn’t last, certainly wouldn’t be very intelligent.” Evaluate Miller’s criticism.
