Questions I would like Intelligent Design Proponents to Answer

[Wowbagger]

An exciting field in science and engineering is the fabrication of materials based on designs originally found in nature. Why doesn't the Original Designer bring suit against such activity on the grounds of infringement of intellectual property? Can this question be answered without assuming some characteristics of that Designer?

Ah, yes... biomimetics. I hear quite a bit about that, from various Creationists.

I don't think the question could be answered without at least one, small assumption about the Designer: It has no claims of intellectual property, and all of its designs are "public domain".

Though, the study of I.D., as an origin of life, has not been shown to be productive in the field of biomimetics. And, sometimes, Evoluion is.
