David: If the program exists, it is in the layers of DNA modification mechanisms and its controls. If 'dabbles' exist, He rearranges the genome controls.-If cellular intelligence exists, it is what you call the controls. If ‘dabbles' exist, of course they are rearrangements. The question is how and why your God picks on individual organisms and physically rearranges their genome to produce a nose, a kidney, a wing, or mentally guides them to fly to warmer climes or to tie complicated knots.-PS: Re our previous exchange, animal cognition is not confined to fear, and PPS: Do you think the will to survive is “natural” or can only be “guided” by God?-dhw: …because although you regard humans as being in God's image, you don't like to see him as being anything like humans. Why do YOU think he created humans?-DAVID: Our mind is only a small reproduction of the complexity of His mind, a minor reflection of His mind. We are created to respond to Him and relate to him.-Difficult to respond and relate to someone who deliberately remains hidden, but in any case, why would he create us in order to have us respond and relate to him? Is he lonely? Bored?
