Dhw: ...one of the reasons why I am an agnostic is that according to you intelligence doesn't need any neurons at all, let alone 100 billion of them. It just exists and has always been there, and you call it God, and that doesn't require any explanation. It is simply inexplicable. 
As far as my alternative is concerned, though, I will point out that, if we accept the concept of common descent, my 100 billion neurons took thousands of millions of years to assemble themselves, and in the beginning their ancestors were single cells (later combining and cooperating) that used their inexplicable “ability to gain knowledge, understand facts and then collate the material into reasonable conclusions.” An accumulation of knowledge gleaned from thousands of millions of years' experience of changing material conditions, with corresponding advances, does not seem to me any less likely than a total grasp of all knowledge even before the materials exist. (Some forms of your God do not have a total knowledge, but he would still have needed enough to create a universe and material life, which is just as inexplicable.)-DAVID: How materials starting at an inorganic level develop biologically and learn from experience, even though for millions of years the repositories of knowledge, neurons, did not exist, is fully beyond me, unless here is a guiding hand or mind.-You continue to ignore the fact that both hypotheses are inexplicable. Your guiding hand or mind - energy always BEING aware of itself - is every bit as inexplicable as my inorganic materials BECOMING aware of themselves.
