DAVID: The IM wants as advance. It will need to have two organic molecules to interact. to do this the IM must find can enzyme to facilitate the reaction, Otherwise the reaction will take 3K to 120K years to do the reaction..... This is just like Darwin hunt-and-peck. Just what attributes do you wish to apply to the IM so it isn't like Darwin? That is why I so strongly resist your third-way solution. Planning must occur!

> dhw: What you are describing sounds to me like the IM itself, which must have been part of the very first cells, and I do not know how the first cells were formed. ..... What you refuse to recognize is that an unknown, sourceless, supernatural mind so vast that it can create and encompass billions of solar systems (plus various other associated problems) is itself an invention and is just as difficult to believe in as atheistic chance. That is the agnostic's dilemma.-And what you refuse to look at are the odds of finding the perfect enzyme for the new process. You've talked around it. Only chance or design can find that enzyme, unless you believe in magic, which is what your IM appears to be.
