Abstract
Naturalists frequently suggest that the imperfection found in living things is clear evidence that organisms are the products of natural processes rather than the products of intelligent design. I challenge this "Imperfection Argument" by identifying and evaluating the presuppositions upon which it depends. Although the naturalist's argument is shown to be unsound, this does not vindicate the intelligent design position. I suggest that it is unlikely that the issue of biological design will serve the agendas of either naturalists or theists, and consequently that a healthy dose of humility concerning this issue is perhaps the true mark of wisdom.
