> All of these gaps in the theory can be filled (and in my view the theory does not break down at all) if we accept the hypothesis of the intelligent cell..... Whatever works, survives. Theists can detect a divine plan if they wish, atheists can reduce their reliance on chance, and both sides can embrace the same hypothesis as to how the process works. Their beliefs will simply revolve around the one area of evolution that Darwin did not tackle in Origin which, ironically, is the origin of the intelligent cell that enabled evolution to take place.

> What are the gaps and/or flaws in this hypothesis?-Yes, the cells are acting with a form of intelligence that comes from underlying information. A slight modification in theory gets us to Alfred Russel Wallace who got the whole concept correct. At the level of the basis of reality we find information and analysis by information theory confirms the quantity of that information. Finding underlying information pervades the physical sciences of cosmology and particle physics. Finding underlying information pervades the biological sciences in a like manner. The intelligent cell is filled with information. Matter is not information. Information is non-material, but can interact with the material and guide it. Like Wallace, accept where the information came from and your problem, is solved.
