So, how long will it be until there's a "conscience clause" for I.D. pharmacists?
See, we can't provide you with new, more powerful antibiotics, because that would imply that bacteria have evolved and adapted to the old, less powerful antibiotics.
One of the reasons why Ignorance-Is-Bliss Design makes me so crazy is that science never claims that all mysteries have been solved. There are plenty of things that are too complicated too understand, right now. And somehow the I.D. folks convert this into a proof of a divine hand in creation.
It's like your teenager comes home and says "Hey, this math homework is too complicated for me to understand...."
So, what do you say? "Son, that just proves there is a God!"
Or do you sit down and try to solve the problem?
