> DAVID: Not really, if start of life and the mechanism of evolution all originated together in a 'first code' they are joined together. And this would include your AIM.

> dhw: I joined them together myself! ... The NATURE of the evolutionary mechanism is a separate issue from how the mechanism - whatever it is - came into being.-I think we may be together. My point is the start of life and its code and the evolutionary mechanism all began together, but we still don't understand how the evolutionary mechanism works.-> DAVID: In your energy proposal where does the impetus for transformation come from? Why should unconscious energy/matter do that? Does it have purpose?

> dhw: In your energy proposal where does the consciousness come from? According to you it is already there as part of the first cause. According to me, the impetus for transformation is already there as part of the first cause. No, it does not have purpose. And I find the one hypothesis as unlikely as the other.-Since I see purpose and there must be a first cause, we will remain apart in our theories.
