I think
@rockytopva's thread was emphasizing on the existence of intelligence in the core of the design.
Here is an analogy. A super advanced electric racing car that is capable of driving itself but it keeps breaking down from time to time. The fact that the car can drive itself and the fact that it can hit high speeds efficiently is
intelligent design. The fact that it breaks down a lot is
corruption against that intelligent design.
According to the Christian standpoint on the creation of God. Adam & Eve, and all creation were perfect. The
corruption to the intelligent design started occurring after the fall. However, the intelligent core was and is still clearly visible despite the corruption.
@rockytopva was pointing to that intelligent core.
