Natures wonders: zombified animals (Introduction)

DAVID: If the parasite works out its own lifestyle, it learned to control the pill bugs brain instantaneously; not likely. And then the startling had to have a taste for that particular bug. I don't know why this three-part system exists, but if one accepts the po0ssibility that somehow the evolutionary process creates complexity, this is complexity. And God uses evolution so it is His complexity that happens.

dhw: Nobody would deny that if God exists, he is responsible for the evolutionary process. Nobody would deny that the evolutionary process has produced complexity. Nobody would deny that the zombification process is complex. So do you believe that your God personally preprogrammed or dabbled the parasite, or that he gave the parasite the intelligence to work out the zombification process (or possibly to exploit a chance discovery and pass it on to others)? If it is none of these, what is your alternative?

My answer is still as above and quite clear. The brain change cannot be a step-wise arrangement. It must be immediate. The arrangement is complex. I firmly believe the bug cannot do it on its own. God is in change. Logically God arranged it.
