I believe the comment below to be an interesting illustration of the efficacy of Intelligent Design Theory when it is used in attempt to detect examples of intelligent design, which to my understanding is the theory’s entire purpose, and I decided to create a separate topic in case anyone had missed it.
Here’s a fun game for @colewd:
One of the following strings contains a coded message, the rest are completely random. Tell me which is which, the message, and how you figured it out.

The truly puzzling thing is that none of the news reports that came out when this object was first found had any difficulty determining that it was designed. It seems to have been so obvious that no other option was even considered. Yet, apparently, if we use ID principles “with this type of object design detection is difficult.” Wasn’t ID supposed to be based on how human beings usually detect design?
