Unintelligent design?It occurs to me that we have evolved from fighting with fists and rocks, to swords and spears, to guns and bombs and Agent Orange Agent Orange, herbicide used by U.S. forces during the Vietnam War to expose enemy guerrilla forces in forested areas. Agent Orange contains varying amounts of dioxin. Exposure to the defoliant has been linked with chemical acne, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and soft-tissue sarcoma. Many soldiers were exposed to Agent Orange in the Vietnam War. and finally to nuclear warfare. The latter not only kills our enemies, but also destroys our home, Planet Earth. Since we are obviously totally unable to live in peace with each other, is it possible that we are the result of a very unintelligent design? Ruth M.
