DAVID’S comment: If they were accustomed to act independently, necessarily they had to give up that independence to join in a multiple cell, multiple organ animal. To me it seems like multicellularity occurred more easily if the original joining cells were automatic. [/i]

dhw: It may seem to you that multicellularity occurred more easily if it was automatic, because you are convinced that your God organized it. But it would have occurred just as easily if your God had given cells the intelligence to work out new forms of life to cope with or exploit an ever changing environment.

Your 'if God' comment wants cellular intelligence to plan new forms. Only minds can make new architectural new forms which require complex planning to succeed..
