Explanation:
With about 70 billion stars and as many as 100 million life forms (at least here on Earth), the universe is a stunningly complex place. Did all of this matter evolve independently, or was it guided by a larger force – as proponents of intelligent design believe? With the debate raging in living rooms, classrooms and courtrooms, the stakes are high when it comes to determining intelligent design’s merit.

Why?
Why should I waste more than 30 seconds attempting to communicate with an ignoramus?
There is a wonderful world wide web out there with a lot of substance. But that would be asking too much, I'm sure.

"Why should I waste more than 30 seconds attempting to communicate with an ignoramus?"
I'm asking myself the same thing.
"There is a wonderful world wide web out there with a lot of substance. But that would be asking too much, I'm sure."
I agree. Here's my personal favorite:

Discovery of nonsense
Of course the Disco 'Tute is the discovery of nonsense. No real scientist would waste even 30 seconds there.

Yes, really
There are 900+ real scientists named "Steve" that say this misleading Disco 'Tute statement is wrong, wrong, wrong.

You claimed that no real scientist would ever be affiliated with the DI. You've admitted your wrong, and that your argument INSTEAD is that truth is in numbers.

It's a parody.
The whole point of 900+ real scientists named "Steve" is to be a parody.
So it's not an attempt to make an argument - it's to show how silly such an appeal to popularity really is.
And the silly list of people at the Disco 'Tute are not "affiliated" with the DI.
And it's obvious that many of them have no expertise in a relevant field.
And the actual "dissent" statement says nothing about " intelligent design ".
So it's like "the Theory of Evolution is not perfect, therefore intelligent design is correct".
Silly, silly silly.
