Outside The Beltway shows how Creationist/"Intelligent Design as science" advocates are changing their approach in response to selection pressures from their environment. While memtic and genetic processes are not identical, the obvious prevalence of the common mechanism should be leading to questions - but does not, because we're dealing with religion. Then again, Winds has addressed this issue on that level as well: "Divine Evolution, and Creationism's Spiritual Ripoff."
Meanwhile, those who follow liberal-left doctrines of Intelligent Design also ought to be honest about the nature of their beliefs - which are equally religious at their foundation, but (alas) still taught seriously in many so-called "institutions of learning." Regardless of the contrary evidence that often pops up right under their noses.
Evolutionary processes do not guarantee that the outcome reached will necessarily be 'good', just the 'fittest' for the given environment. Also, the comparison of the left's approach to the economy and ID is not inconsistent. There is no proof that there was some devine creator, it is simply a matter of faith and belief--therefore, we won't and should not let our fate be left in the hands of chance or a devine which may not exist--we excercise agency and change our world to our liking. Big difference...
I've wondered if we eventually push the CPU to be intelligently equivalent to a human (circa 2050 or 2075?), then do WE become "intelligent designers"?
