6. Evolution explains conservative free-market economics. Charles Darwin's "natural selection" is precisely parallel to Adam Smith's "invisible hand." Darwin showed how complex design and ecological balance were unintended consequences of competition among individual organisms. Smith showed how national wealth and social harmony were unintended consequences of competition among individual people. Nature's economy mirrors society's economy. Both are designed from the bottom up, not the top down.

This is actually a contradiction in conservative thought that I've been thinking about quite a bit. Conservatives normally have no problem accepting systemic logic, especially when it comes to economics. As far as I can tell, evolution versus ID is the sole exception to this. Of course, this explains why the evolution versus ID "debate" (I know that there are several who are opposed to even calling it a "debate") rages as fiercely as it does even at the epicenter of conservative thought on the Internet.

Yeah, I've been reading a lot of Thomas Sowell lately.
