I'll admit it.  I'm obsessed with figuring out Scott Adams' take on evolution, but only by using his Dilbert strips.  Adams has expressed some conciliatory feelings toward intelligent design.  I'm beginning to suspect that Adams does not think that evolutionary theory is wrong, but, because he has a physicist/genetic enthusiast understanding of the topic, is afraid that the theory will be dehumanizing.

Slacker.

By the by, you may want to amble to your local bookstore and purchase a copy of Adams' "God's Debris: A Thought Experiment." Very quick read, and entertaining. That will (a) answer all of your questions about his take on evolution, and (b) address your suspicion mentioned above.
