An inventive mechanism (Evolution)

> dhw; That has always been the difference between us: your automatic and my autonomous, and you continue to climb on and off your own evolutionary picket fence. 
 In your latest post, you have at least incorporated it as a third possibility (previously, you were confined to two: preprogramming versus God dabbling). However, you now define it as: “inventive mechanism, which is a variation of pre-programming and can create the new complex species by analysis and planning, following given guidelines.” And you think my concept is fuzzy! -I agree I'm fuzzy. I don't know what I don't know. The research hasn't made God's method of evolution obvious to me, and I may never get a clear answer.

> dhw: The hypothesis, once more, is that along the route from bacteria to humans, cell combinations (directed by the intelligent, inventive mechanism your God may have installed within the genome) have over millions of years autonomously, independently, intelligently, without any preprogramming, without any given instructions, and in accordance with prevailing environmental conditions, created each innovation that has led to this vast diversity.-This is an approach as one of the three I can accept sort of. Such a mechanism must have some guiding instructions as to the changes to adapt to new conditions. At least, as I interpreted your initial intelligent cell hypothesis, you are now clear about the supremacy of the genome over the cells, which are in general automatic factories, that have some small feedback to the genome. The DNA is already in recent research showing another layer of coding, but nothing so far that suggests how speciation is created. We don't know how phenotype is created. We are still at the level of understanding the production of protein and alterations in that production, nothing more!
