David's comment re DNA/RNA: The complexity of living biochemistry seen in action demands the conclusion it was developed by an active mind. No chance process can possibly do this. - dhw: I agree. Once intelligence exists, there seems to be an inevitable progression to ever increasing complexity (your own term), resulting in all the improvements we see from the simple cell to the human brain. But where did the first intelligence spring from? That is the great question to which we have no answer. - DAVID: My answer is an eternal mind, God. Again you want a proven answer. - There are two questions under discussion. The first is how evolution works, and I have proposed (theistic version) that your God provided organisms with autonomous intelligence, as opposed to preprogramming them or dabbling with them. My hypothesis fits in with all the information we currently have, but you categorically reject it because you want proof. The second question is whether God exists or intelligence came about by chance. I am fully aware that proof is impossible for both hypotheses, find them equally difficult to accept, recognize that one must be closer to the truth than the other, and therefore do NOT reject either. You do not require proof for your own hypotheses, but firmly reject the alternatives for lack of proof.
