Genome complexity in embryology (Introduction)

dhw: Once an organ functions, the cells repeat the form and all the procedures. This is observable. How did the organ come into being in the first place? Unknown. But cells HAVE to cooperate if the innovation is to work. Sheer luck (random mutations)? That takes some believing. Preprogrammed 3.7 billion years ago? That takes some believing. God fiddling around with each individual organism? That takes some believing. Intelligent cells working it out among themselves? Hmmmm.... -DAVID: My question to your question: how did cells become intelligent? Or were they given intelligent information to work with? I know you will agree the intelligence did not appear by chance.-As usual, you ignore the problem of how evolution may have progressed and scurry to the safe ground of origins. But I will give you the same answer as I have always given you: I don't know how cells became intelligent. How did first cause energy “become intelligent”? You will say it just is. You might as well say cells just are. It's not an answer. Neither of us has an answer. Now back to evolution. A 3.7-billion-year computer programme for every single innovation including the weaverbird's nest? God dabbling with the weaverbird etc.? God preprogramming or separately creating the whale in order to produce humans? Do you really find such hypotheses convincing?
