Intelligent Design
Three engineers were sitting around the office one day and the topic turned to intelligent design.
“Well,” said the mechanical engineer, if you think about how the human body is designed, it must be the case that God is a mechanical engineer. Just look at the ball and socket joint of the hip, for example. A brilliant piece of work.”
“Yeah?” The electrical engineer sneered just a bit. “Well, I dunno. You’d put a ball and socket in any number of places, but where would you want a joint like the knee? No, I think any serious examination of the design reveals that God is an electrical engineer. Consider all the nerve endings, the fine work at the tips of fingers, and, well, all sorts of other places.”
“Oh, no, guys.” The civil engineer wasn’t taking any of this guff from mech-E or EE. “No, you have to admit that God is a civil engineer. Who else would run the waste line out through the recreational area?”
IMO: Or, you could argue that God is a politician - lots of unkept promises, then chaos and we all get sent to hell.
