> dhw: According to you, even the weaverbird's nest could not have been created by undirected evolutionary processes, so if that is the point you are trying to make, why not use the same argument for both: human intelligence, like the weaverbird's nest, is too complex to have been created by undirected evolutionary processes.-That is exactly what I have stating. -> 
> dhw: Dealt with above. BBella and I are simply trying to sort out the linguistic mess, which has led to your claiming that difference in degree (capacity, like magnitude, is another difference in degree) = difference in kind. All species (broad sense) are different in kind, and all species have different degrees - sometimes massively so - of intelligence etc., as above. Simple.-And I'm simply pointing out that Adler and Nagel agree: evolution does not explain the human mind. And I'm with them.
