What’s our standard for intelligence? Evolution has, with a planet and a few billion years, produced many, many things that humans have not yet been able to replicate. Or which we can’t replicate efficiently. That’s starting to change. But a process that can outperform a few billion people with a few thousand years of accumulated knowledge is still pretty formidable.
I <i>do</i> think that there are many people in the biological sciences who portray evolution as being more ‘stupid’ than it is. And that is a problem because it’s a false prediction.
IDers seem to be cherry picking their ’early supporters of a functional genome. Most IDers I talked to during the early 2000s or so, in contrast, were very cagey about committing to any falsifiable theory. A highly functional genome was a sort of strawman argument against creationists, if you go back far enough. But it’s a strawman which turns out to be more accurate than the actual arguments made by either mainstream scientists or creationists in the 70s.
