> dhw: First of all, I disagree with the claim that our fellow animals can't reason. Large numbers of scientific experiments (David has told us about some) and observations have shown that they can ... but obviously not to anything like the degree that we can. -Agree.-> dhw: In other words, first-cause energy is not a self-aware, readymade inventor who has been around forever and whose superintelligence is simply and inexplicably there, but it is possessed of low-level, unselfconscious "intelligence" which has evolved through the matter it creates...-Here I violently disagree. Matter has nothing to do with creation of intelligence. First cause energy is intelligence and intelligence advances only through consciousness, as they are intertwined. My dog's intelligence is limited because his consciousness is so limited.
