Kurt Vonnegut is a well-known writer and a secular humanist. He has recently made some interesting comments about intelligent design in an NPR interview (HT: Uncommon Descent). Here is part of the interview, with Vonnegut in red and the interviewer in gray:

"Where you can see tribal behavior now is in this business about teaching evolution in a science class, and intelligent design. Look, scientists themselves are behaving tribally."

"How are the scientists behaving tribally?"

"They say, you know about evolution, that it surely happened, that the fossil record shows that. But look, my body and your body are miracles of design. Scientists are pretending to have the answers [about] how we got this way, when natural selection couldn't have possibly have produced such machines."

"Does that mean that you would favor teaching intelligent design in the classroom?"

"Look, its what we're thinking about all the time. If I were a physics teacher or science teacher, it would be on my mind all the time as how the hell we really got this way. It's a perfectly natural human thought."
