> dhw: However, whichever solution we impose on science, it's going to come up against the same unanswerable question: how did intelligence arise in the first place? -My contention is that inorganic plasma of the early universe could not invent consciousness and the intelligence therein by chance. C&I had to already exist and simply re-created itself through an evolution of the universe.-> dhw: In other words, when it comes to science, no theory of first cause makes sense, but evolution is NOT a theory of first cause. It is a theory of how the first forms of life (cause unknown) gave rise to new forms.-You are right. Lots of unknowns and can't-be-provens. Evolution appears guided to me. That follows from my previous comment.
