> DAVID: I feel the complexity demands guidance. the cell nuclear pore is just one of hundreds of examples, perhaps thousands.

> dhw: Yes, thousands, perhaps millions. According to you, EVERY innovation, plus EVERY lifestyle, plus EVERY natural wonder demands advanced planning and “guidance” (preprogramming or personal dabbling) by your God, because they are ALL too complex for organisms to work out for themselves. When I ask how God did all this, you complain that I am demanding exactitudes which you cannot provide.-Our gulf in thought is shown in this statement of yours. I am incredulous at the complexity and recognize how difficult it is to plan for. You recognize the complexity (sort of) and hunt for any other possible explanation except God. I don't now how God did it, but you have no idea how the complexity might have happened. You don't accept chance, and then hope cells are smart enough on their own to figure it out, while offering the sop that perhaps God helped. Hard to balance on that fence.
