> DAVID: My position is that God created life. I don't think it arose by chance. The life we see through Natures Wonders shows highly complex arrangements. This means that 'life' as an emergent entity is highly inventive. Somehow through God's guidance. I can go no further, but you want it analyzed to the finest detail, which I cannot do, because God doesn't tell me how He does it.-
> dhw: If you don't think God would have preprogrammed these bacteria or dabbled with them, might that not suggest that like the weaverbird and the monarch and the wasp, they may be equipped with an independent intelligence of their own?-I don't know why you can't simply read my statement above and quit picking at it. I've said that life's processes are inventive. It may well be because each organism is given intelligent information to use for planning. That is obvious. I do think God helped pre-programmed or dabbled or both. I've said He guided evolution. And yes it is my contention that He planned on humans arriving. I've never changed my tune and won't.
