> dhw: The sentence that I have put in bold provides an important link here. In my hypothesis, “intelligent cells” combine their intelligence to form multicellular organisms, ....Every new step - for example, the invention of "nerve-like cells" - requires new connections between all the cell communities but may also engender new ideas for improvement in a continuous onward movement of improvement built on improvement, or "further gains". No intermediates, because improvements take place in existing organisms and won't survive unless they work. This explains the gaps in the fossil record: there are no gaps.-This is stepwise without the steps. You keep fooling yourself: the fossil record shows a giant gap to get to the Cambrian. Even Darwin recognized this and thought intermediates would be found. His prediction, upon which he based his theory, failed!-> dhw: Fantastic? I suspect that is the adjective many evolutionists would use about the idea that God implanted the very first cells with a computer programme containing every single improvement for the next few billion years.-We don't know this is the method of a 'guided evolution'. It is one of many possibilities.
