An inventive mechanism (Evolution)

DAVID: True, but my problem with your theory is that you are giving properties to cells that I know they do not have and are not capable of using.

You are one inventing stuff about cells that cannot exist. I am the one who has exposed you to the cognitive functions of cells. Believe me, it is minimal. I react with incredulity when I see a functioning kidney in action. I don't believe you come close to understanding how complex that it. It simply had to be planned. There is no way it formed bit by bit, following error after error. The Cambrian tells us that. Tony tells you that. My idea of a creative mechanism, if you noted, included the idea that plans are there, ready for the using when indicated. Creation of something new happens when necessary as evolution unfolds. I view your theory as wishful thinking to get around the idea that the genome is a computer program, and the only two choices we know to explain evolution are chance or design. Asking the cells to design themselves into new organs when they have no ability to plan is, in my view, a third way that cannot exist, in any reasonable theory.
