> dhw: Could you possibly find a clearer instance of the "intelligent cell" at work, or of the evolutionary process of cooperation as expounded by Margulis? Communication between individual cells, the formation of communities that live and work together, making use of whatever environment they find themselves in...Isn't this the key to adaptation and innovation within living organisms, thereby leading to new organs and new species? No need for random mutations, no problem with gaps in the fossil record, no problem with saltation, no problem with the Cambrian Explosion... "Intelligent cells" are the answer to all the evolutionary questions except that of their origin.-I have no argument with the intelligence in the first cells, or your obvious conclusions ,short of thed comment about origin. Information and intelligence are two sides of the same coin. Those cells are imbued with information. Information comes from an intelligent mind which supplied that information. Information does not come from blind chance. Therefore??? It is difficult to escape that thought that God exists.
