I think a baby bird being born to "act as that bird should" is pre-programmed. But if you are talking about "programmed" in a larger time frame, using monism, we have "god" again. That is reasonable. -I am not talking about programmed. I was asking what the difference between pre-programmed and programmed. -If that baby bird behaves unexpectedly ... is it programmed, pre-programmed or something else. Is a pendulum programmed?-> Can protien concentration be "back feed" and then coded into DNA. I see no logical reason to say no. This feedback loop would offer the life form the chance to have a "good mutation"-There are inetrative processes all around us. Look at mountains being ground down, being subducted and raised as mountains.
