dhw: No one will dispute that reductive materialism has taught us what neurons can do. You rightly (in my view) tell us it has not taught us that neurons produce human consciousness; you wrongly and confusingly (in my view) suggest that reductive materialism has taught us that cells do not have consciousness. - DAVID: All the experts claim is that cells have the ability to respond intelligently. Which does not mean they have an innate form of intelligence.
 - And it does not mean that they do NOT have an innate form of intelligence. So please don't argue that reductive materialism is wrong in relation to human consciousness and right in relation to brainless organisms. - ****** - Thank you for the “Kabbalah view”. I made a start, but found it very hard going. I'll try again when I have a bit more time.
