dhw: Lots of intelligent thought is required for most processes of survival. Your superb list of Nature’s Wonders bears testimony to that. This one sounds rather like a form of hibernation. What I find quite simply unbelievable is your insistence that the millions upon millions of such processes, plus the innovations, plus the natural wonders at every level of organic existence all had to be preprogrammed in the very first cells or personally dabbled by your God.

As I've stated in another thread, the first cells had to have a group of alternative survival pathways onboard from the beginning or there would be no life.
