dhw: Do you really and truly believe that God had to preprogramme or personally design these wonders in order to produce humans or food for humans? I agree that such behaviour is a far cry from the invention of a kidney. But once you grant organisms inventive autonomy, you have a clear explanation for the “helter-skelter” animal evolution you have acknowledged. The trouble is, it conflicts with your personal reading of your God's mind. -I have previously said I have no idea how/why God did this in the way He did. I firmly think He directed and managed the process and progress of evolution. My conflict with God's mind is no greater than yours.-> DAVID: You are back to committees of cells working out roles. This requires experimentation in itty-bitty steps with no evidence of it in evolution.

> dhw: There is no evidence of God's 3.8-billion-year old computer programme for all innovations or personal intervention. We can only speculate.-You jumped over my point that your approach requires itty-bitty steps. Committees of cells cannot do complex planning for complex jumps in evolution, which is what is seen.-> dhw: I only know what I read, and I am not in any position to tell cellular biologists who maintain that bacteria are sentient, cognitive beings that they are absolutely wrong.- ut there are experts with just the opposite point of view, and no one can prove either side for sure.
