One addendum: During his presentations, Gilder claimed several times that evolutionary biology somehow undermined the notions of freedom and economics. He just couldn’t seem to get his head around the concept of bottom-up order. This so frustrated me that I eventually quipped, “Intelligent design is to evolutionary biology what socialism is to free-market economics.”
Technically, isn’t this what young earth creationists believe as well. By definition, God would be an alien, as his origin is not from earth and He did seed life on earth.
The film (Expelled) provides a definitive answer to the burning question, “Is there or can there be such a thing as an idiot with a 180 IQ?” Richard Dawkins is clearly an example of such.
