intelligent design as "how did we get here?" relies upon no mysticism; it is based on observation and rational thought. The flu example is bait and switch. nobody denies micro-evolotion or change within species. A flu virus will never become a liver. Nor a spider.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
