DAVID: My question to your question: how did cells become intelligent? Or were they given intelligent information to work with? I know you will agree the intelligence did not appear by chance.

> dhw: As usual, you ignore the problem of how evolution may have progressed and scurry to the safe ground of origins. But I will give you the same answer as I have always given you: I don't know how cells became intelligent.-But they obviously operate using intelligent information. I find it beyond belief it developed de novo by chance. You don't accept chance either. ->dhw: How did first cause energy “become intelligent”? You will say it just is. You might as well say cells just are. It's not an answer. Neither of us has an answer.-I have accepted a logical answer for me. You just throw your hands up and give up. To me it is can incontrovertible fact that operating with intelligent information, requires supplied information. I don't see why you can't accept that and take the next step.-> dhw: Now back to evolution. A 3.7-billion-year computer programme for every single innovation including the weaverbird's nest? God dabbling with the weaverbird etc.? God preprogramming or separately creating the whale in order to produce humans? Do you really find such hypotheses convincing?-Again confusing the issue. I've admitted to accepting some type of evolutionary process to reach today's reality. I've admitted I don't know how it works, or why whales were produced. Living organisms are obviously wildly inventive, either by directed development or by innovation semi-independently developed. I only know that it requires conscious planning.
