"also, it is intellectually dishonest to compare biology and economics. They are not the same.

Using economics as an analogy is intellectually dishonest? How so?

The point was that examples of complexity arising out of chaotic systems has been evidenced.

ID dudes have yet to show that complexity is limited to intelligent actions.

Got any evidence other than 'it looks like it'?

Analogies are just that; analogies, and nothing more. If you claim otherwise, then you would have to accept the assembling of the parts of a watch as evidence of intelligent design and creation. Are you willing to do that?

Quite frankly, neither analogy is valid. They are nothing more than analogies, or illustrations; and both are bad ones.
