Life's biologic complexity: Automatic molecular actions (Introduction)

DAVID: Just as I don't accept unicellular intelligence, you don't accept the importance of the balance of nature. Same double standard by your principles. As for destroying species no longer needed, the Earth has just so much room for living matter. Makes way for new advances.

dhw: We have agreed that the balance of nature changes in accordance with what conditions suit what species. It has no meaning other than life goes on, with or without humans. I agree that room is limited – hence natural selection and, as conditions change, an ever shifting balance. What double standards? You demand absolute proof for my hypothesis (impossible) and then accuse me of demanding absolute proof for yours (impossible). You can’t explain why God didn’t start with humans. My hypothesis offers an explanation. So once more: please tell me what aspect of my hypothesis does NOT fit the facts of the history of evolution.

You are correct. Your hypothesis fits the history. What I have done is to keep attacking your basic assumptions about cellular intelligence, based on a few hyperbolic statements by a few scientists, and your apparent lack of recognition of the need for precise planning in advance for the complexity I've demonstrated. Because it fits the history by no means shows it is anywhere near a correct possibility.
