David's comment: We still use Biomimetics to learn how to do things. Nature is still smarter than we are.-Dhw: Nature is not an organism. The wasp, dog, elephant and bacterium are the organisms, and yes indeed, in certain fields they are smarter than we are, just as we are smarter than they are in other fields. It's all a matter of degrees of smartness, isn't it?-DAVID: The animals are not smarter. The biomimetic structures (Velcro) and processes (photosynthesis) teach us to create new inventions which were developed thru evolution, which may have been guided by God, or run independently after God created the process of evolution.. Could it be God is the smartest?-I'm delighted by your acknowledgement that evolution may have run independently. If it did, then the animals which figured out these inventions are smarter than us in their own particular fields. If God preprogrammed them 3.8 billion years ago or gave them personal tuition, then they are not. It goes without saying that if God exists, he is the smartest.
