Bruce Lipton & the cell (Introduction)

DAVID: I know. He [Shapiro] is discussing epigenetic changes which may cause advances in evolution.
dhw: And since these changes are the result of interaction between the environment and the cellular community, and since he believes cells and organisms are intelligent, cognitive, sentient, decision-making beings, it's mighty difficult to see how this means evolution is all a matter of cells and organisms automatically obeying God's implanted instructions.
DAVID: He also says that cells act teleologically to survive and to evolve. God could have easily programmed all of that into the cells.-I take “teleologically” to mean ”with purpose”, in which case his statement can be used to support the case for evolution being driven by cellular intelligence. “All of that” means every innovation, lifestyle and natural wonder, so back we go to the higgledy-piggledy bush of animal evolution which you gear to the production of humans, though by your own admission you can't explain why God did it that way and (in your response to Romansh) it's ”just faith”.
