> dhw: I'm not worried about Darwin's worries, I'm worried about David Turell's theories. You quite rightly refer to the Cambrian Explosion as a huge problem for the theory of random mutations. But since you believe so firmly in God's plans, and in the inability of cell communities to invent all these astonishing novelties, I can't believe you haven't got a theory to explain it.....-I don't have a theory. All I know is it takes plan to make a kidney. It takes a mind with consciousness to make such a complicated plan.-

> dhw: So back we go to 1), 2) and 3). I knew you must have at least one theory! Here's one more: God (or maybe not) endowed cells with an intelligence of their own, so that by combining their evolving intelligences in vast cooperating communities, they were able to exploit new conditions (the Cambrian) to come up with new organs and species.-No, i'm sticking to one fact, it takes a mind to make a plan. All the rest is speculation.
