Genome complexity: Fighting viruses speeds evolution? (Introduction)

dhw: So now we have God supervising every new viral infection (which presumably he devised in the first place) and personally providing the right giant molecule to fight it? Or preprogramming the first cells so that their descendants would come up with the right new molecules at all the right times? Or could there be another explanation, such as God providing organisms (not the evolutionary process) with a mechanism enabling them to “find” or perhaps “design” the giant molecule?-DAVID: I've always agreed it is a possibility.-You have always insisted that the inventive mechanism has to be “guided” by God, which is the exact opposite of what I propose.
