dhw: Yes of course you will stick to your rigid belief. And I will simply point out that some experts disagree with you, and that when you reject reductive materialism as an explanation for the intelligent behaviour of humans (and, to a lesser degree, of our fellow animals), and you accept reductive materialism as an explanation for the intelligent behaviour of bacteria, your argument smacks of double standards. - DAVID: I have to look at science studies using a reductive materialism method, and then I make my own interpretation of the findings. Yes, several standards of critical view. - You accept the method for bacteria and you reject it for humans. Is it not possible, then, that instead of your conclusions emerging from the findings, you are imposing your pre-existing conclusions on the findings?
