LOL! OK, I take back post 255. But post 253 still holds. IDers understand biology the same way Communists understand economics: Neither group thinks that complex order can arise spontaneously out of chaos plus a few relatively simple rules of interaction. Hayek knew better.

Evolutionists like yourself just make it up as you morph along!

Banks and economic policies arose just as a random events and were coopted to solve economic problems. Yeah, I buy that.

I'm waiting for the random free billion dollar giveaway.

I think that this interchange shows more of how the Darwinist looks at the world than how the ID'er (however you define that) looks at the world. I cannot imagine how anyone views economic institutions as evolving using random variation. Trial and error is not random. You don't use a hammer to to tighten a bolt of unknown size, but you may try several different sockets until you find the right one.
