Only if one tries to say that "accidentally" all the elements got shaken 
together in a bag and out jumped a man.  Evolution doesn't work like 
that; it started with random combinations of amino acids that over a 
vast period of time became self-replicating, that over much more time 
became single celled organisms, that over much more time became more 
complex critters.

The idea of intelligent design can only be plausible when one has not 
studied the vast amounts of time involved for the planet to become as it 
is today, as well as doing a serious study of the fossil records.  (Want 
to see the ancestors of whales or cats and dogs?  Google on Archaeocetes 
and on Miacids.)

Do you even know how old the planet is, Harold?  Or do you accept Bishop 
Usher's idea (Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland [1581 - 1656])  that the 
planet - and all life on it - was created exactly in 4004 B.C.?  He came 
up with this idea by counting the generations of people in the Bible; an 
obviously learned idea, since he knew nothing of geophysics and the like.
