Introduction
Foolish Design: It’s a simple principle, really; much similar to intelligent design. In fact, it is intelligent design. The fundamental premise is that the world is simply too complicated, too bizarre and hilarious to have been created by anything but an unknown, mysterious, foolish designer. It is important to stress that we mean foolish in the sense of the traditional fool, the jester. No attempt is made to suggest that this foolish designer is a fool in the more modern sense: an idiot. It’s an amazingly airtight theory. In fact, the evidence is all around us, if we care to look. For a simple case in point, take the duck-billed platypus, I mean, look at it! It’s hilarious! Is it a bird? Is it a rodent? Who cares? The damn thing looks silly enough to almost prove the existence of a Foolish Intelligence behind the development of life on Earth.
Evidence of a Foolish Designer is especially prevalent among the human race, it’s even written into our bodies. The only simple, logical explanation that fits Occam’s Razor is that this was done by intelligent intent, and somewhere out there, something is laughing at us.
No doubt you’ve had the feeling before. Perhaps you bought a new car, and then realized you forgot to check that there was an engine under the hood. Maybe you had a distinctly Freudian slip during an intimate moment. It is even possible that you’ve engaged in hysterical laughter during stressful moments. All of these simple instances are indications of a unified, complex instance of Foolish Design, a design that delves even into our very psyche.
There are some who may dispute the evidence of Foolish Design. They may point out death, disease, and famine, claiming that these are not beautiful aspects of life. One could ask why such things exist if there is a Foolish Designer behind it all. There are many ways to respond to such a question. We feel, however, that the most appropriate response is to say that a Foolish Designer may have an intellect, motivation, and sense of humor simply too complex, too unfathomable for the human mind to comprehend it.
