dhw: IFs are fun. Here's another for you: IF your God could put together a "not all that complicated (relatively)" simple intelligent cell with the potential to link up with other relatively simple intelligent cells to form more complex intelligent cell communities, and IF those more complex intelligent cell communities learned from their experiences that just a few minor tweaks here and there could lead to major changes (such as adaptations and new organs and new lifestyles and new strategies), evolution could all work from the beginning until now without preprogramming and without dabbling. Tony's answer covers the problem.-As long as you accept that 'intelligent cells' really are litle computers with clever genomes filled with God-supplied information that can answer an stimulus with an intelligent responses based on the information they have, then you have a solid theory. Inventing a liver or kidney NEVER is a minor tweak. I wish you really understood how terribly complicated they are.
