DAVID: [The centrosome] is a distribution center for the microtubules which run all over the cell delivering protein products of various types. It is like Amazon selling product and then delivering product. What controls Amazon's deliveries? Computers. [...] Yes, A-B is slightly correct. The centrosome is a control center, but it is under the control of the nucleus itself.-You asked me where the independent source of intelligence might be hiding. You assume the centrosome is a computer. A-B thinks it is the "hiding-place". I have no idea even where the source of human intelligence (which you believe to be the soul) is hiding, but I love your response to that:
 
DAVID: In a cloud of quantum energy in the brain.-Take a spoonful of quantum, spice it with a dash of emergence, and you have the answer to everything. Cellular intelligence emerges from the interplay between biochemicals and quantum energy within the cell. How's that?-Dhw: As a matter of interest, has the Christian Conway Morris ever at any time to your knowledge, David, advocated a mixture of divine preprogramming of the first cells plus the occasional divine dabble as an explanation of how evolution proceeds?
DAVID: No. I have only followed Conway Morris for his ideas about the convergence that is seen and the thrust of his book...-Strange, isn't it? Can you name one scientist who shares your view of how evolution works? I don't mean design ... I mean your God's preprogramming of the first living cells with every subsequent form and way of life, interspersed with the occasional divine dabble.
