> dhw: Autonomous v semi-autonomous is quite a recent “split” in our discussion. Earlier you said your dilemma lay between preprogramming and dabbling. No problem if you've given up on the preprogramming hypothesis, which even stretched so far as to include the weaverbird's nest and the monarch's lifestyle, and always seemed to me to be way, way over the top.

> dhw: So now it would seem that your dilemma lies between a semi-autonomous inventive mechanism by which God semi-guided evolution, and the personal creation of each species (Creationism). At least it's being narrowed down.-Not necessarily. My thinking must remain open-ended. Pre-programming and dabbling are still options, none of which are provable. But God-guided evolution I find very reasonable as in the comment I made about the essay I presented today.
