> dhw: The authors link this development with an increase in oxygen (a factor which some researchers also link to the Cambrian Explosion). No doubt you will see this as another piece of your God's preprogramming, passed on by the first cells, but I can't help feeling it fits in perfectly with the concept of cells themselves experimenting as the environment offers new opportunities.-I have never denied that organisms have self-evolutionary abilities. I've discussed epigenetics endlessly here. It is the issue of how independent those abilities are that we are in disagreement about. I still think your Darwin roots from earlier in your life play a role. But I admit you seem to have accepted much of my anti-Darwin-theory proposals.
