dhw: I'm trying to understand why you think the ability to solve problems, invent useful organs, adapt to different environments and different challenges, shows that the cells and cell communities concerned have no intelligence of their own. -They have planted information in the DNA which allows them to follow certain paths. They know to use information. They do not initially develop the information.-

> DAVID: Again, no. God put information into the DNA so it can take needed action. The intelligence is at the level of God. The new epigenetic findings show this.

> dhw; I suspect that this does not mean quite what it says. Do new epigenetic findings really show that God put information into DNA? Or could it be that "you are assuming too much", and in fact new epigenetic findings only show that DNA acts intelligently?-You are correct. My answer is above. DNA follows the information it has.
