Intelligent design, the flu and markets

From Holman Jenkins, Jr.'s Business World column in today's Wall Street Journal - There's Something Catching in Washington:

Almost everything about last week's flu panic goes to show why "intelligent design" simply makes a bad argument -- because it relies on the baseless assumption that complexity is evidence of design, a notion belied by everyday experience. Our economy achieves its complexity precisely because no one is in charge. Our politics creates order for 300 million contentious citizens in ways more supple and efficient than any authoritarian could impose.
