dhw: Despite your claim that you don't try to read God's mind, you insist that he created life and evolution to end up with human beings. ..... The confusion is all too evident in our next exchange:-No I think the confusion is yours.-
> dhw:Information of how to use information = instructions. If you have a million situations, you need a million sets of instructions. Are cells (cell communities) compelled to follow specific instructions, or do they have information that enables them to make their own choices? If they are compelled, they are preprogrammed automatons. -I've said they are automatons over and over. But I assume they have a small set of choices based on the type and strength of stimuli they receive. - 
> Dhw: Life is indeed a continuous process, and so information gathering also has to be a continuous process. ....Automatons can only take preprogrammed decisions.

> dhw: I just want to clarify your basic premises. Do you believe God preprogrammed the first cells to produce all the innovations that have led from eukaryotes to us humans? If so, did God preprogramme all the pre-human variations on these innovations (leading to the billions of different species), or did the cell communities have the ability to take their own decisions?-Again, explained above. Cell response depends uppon type of stimulus received.
