I was reading the Seven Days pullout of The Sunday Herald last night, and two articles were particularly interesting; One and Two. The latter chimed with the book I'm currently reading: 2010 by Arthur C Clarke (although I've already read 2061 and 3001 since I saw the two films).
In case you haven't figured out what 2001 was about, if I say intelligent design do you get it? You remember when the ape touched the monolith? The future of humanity had been directed by the monolith; and when humans reached the moon, the waiting monolith signalled this to its creators.
So a problem arises... obviously, this is artificial selection - a science. But intelligent design, thus far, is psuedoscience. The current intelligent design movement in the New World is a backdoor creationist movement, but Alien intervention is surely not religious (unless some stupid humans saw stuff come down from the sky they couldn't explain, wrote it down and some other idiots translated it through 5 different languages centuries later - fucking typical).
Ponder this.
