QUOTE: "'It's almost prescient; it already knows before it comes and just steps right in," Frydman said.
"Very important processes rely on the fidelity of where proteins have to go, Frydman said, and cells need to secrete proteins faithfully. If a particular protein stays in the cytoplasm, it could aggregate and lead to loss of healthy function or the accidental gain of unhealthy function. These gains or losses are typical of a variety of diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, cancer and Alzheimer's disease."-David's comment: Just goes to show you have active the cells are and how precise. This precision is vital to life continuing. To me the systems are irreducibly complex and not explained by evolution.-The “prescience”, activity and precision of these cells may not be explained BY evolution, but if we grant that these attributes confirm the sentience, cognitive, communicative and cooperative intelligence of cells, we might find ourselves with an explanation OF evolution.
