Quote by David Klinghoffer
The problem with ID, of course, is that it leaves open the possibility that the intelligence behind nature may have a moral interest in us, having communicated already with humanity in the past, and might try to boss you around in your private affairs.With hypothetical advanced aliens residing at a safely distant address in the hypothetical multiverse, that is - to the relief of folks like Gribbin, Dawkins and the - manifestly not the case.
Summary
This quote points out a critique of the concept of Intelligent Design (ID). It suggests that ID raises the possibility that the intelligence responsible for the creation of nature might have moral intentions towards humanity and could try to control our personal lives. However, the quote argues that this is not the case since advanced aliens, residing in a hypothetical multiverse, are not influencing or dictating our actions. In other words, the quote challenges the notion that there is a higher intelligence actively interfering with human affairs through nature.
