The cruncher of course is childbirth, which I am delighted never to have undergone. No more difficult than defecating a pumpkin is a description of childbirth that refuses to depart my memory. After describing the pain of childbirth, Bryson writes: “If ever there was an event that challenges the concept of intelligent design, it is the act of childbirth.”

Bryson has apparently forgotten Genesis and the Original Sin hypothesis: "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children …" And there are certainly better grounds for objecting to the rather cartoonish aspects of intelligent design theory.
