> dhw: The “arena of body type and abilities of that body” is what I call innovation, which is the key to evolution. The weaver nest is what I refer to as a natural wonder, and migration as a lifestyle. According to you in every discussion we have had up to now, ALL of them are too complex for the organisms to work out by themselves, and so they ALL have to be “guided”. According to my hypothesis (theistic version), your God endowed cell communities with the intelligence to work these complexities out for themselves. -We disagree to some degree on terms, but at least we are separating the component parts of the evolutionary process. I see no difference in the manufacture of a complex nest and the migration of monarchs though eight metamorphoses as well as the geographic movement as all being part of how the animals conduct their lives (lifestyle), and at the same time the same events are covered equally well by the term natures' wonders. Why differentiate?
