dhw:I agree that there must be intelligence imparting information. The problem lies in where the intelligence and information came from,-I feel the intelligence information issue is something we must accept as a given; note you admit there must be such info from intelligence. -
> dhw:Do you believe that 1) God tinkered with an existing spider's abdomen, 2) that he created web-spinning spiders separately, 3) that he planned web-spinning when he invented the first mechanisms for reproduction, heredity, adaptation and innovation, or 4) that web-spinning happened through the inventive intelligence of those mechanisms being brought into play when the environment allowed for such inventions? Needless to say, the question has a crucial bearing on your evolutionary teleology.-Only No. 4. DNA is coded so complexly and carefully that all sort of convergences are allowed to be tried. As I've said it appears that complexification is built-in to the genome.
