> DAVID: If we could discover a seat of intelligence in micro-organisms I would agree with you.

> dhw: And you are the one who accuses me of wanting absolute proof that God exists! Has anyone yet discovered your God's 3.7-billion-year computer programme which offers micro-organisms solutions to every problem they will encounter for the rest of time? - Biochemists can pick a cell apart and show you what it does in responce to all stimuli. What else do you want!

> David's comment (re geckos): It looks like a reasoned learned behaviour, just like our black Texas cows under a tree for shade on hot days.

> dhw: Another lovely article, and a great comment. I agree, these organisms reason things out (invention), and when something works, they stick to it (learned behaviour). Observation tells us that micro-organisms do the same, but you prefer to believe in God's undiscovered computer programme rather than a different type of “receiver”. - For micro-organisms answered above.
