Biological complexity: how the cell proteasome works (Introduction)

DAVID: Intelligence had to appear in the first cells.

dhw: Of course it did, and in my hypothesis I allow for your “God” having implanted the intelligence that drives it. (But see below and under “Information”.)

DAVID: Intelligence is immaterial and requires thoughtful planning to be useful in having evolution progress from simple single celled to complex multicellular, granting that the initial cells are highly complex to begin with. I simply accept that God supplied the intelligence from the beginning.

dhw: “Accept” is the wrong word. That is what you believe, but you have ignored everything else I have said in my post about the term “God”. Whatever supplied the intelligence from the beginning is an unknown force.

At least you admit there has to be a 'force' to supply the intelligence. That is a beginning of what that force might be. Is it in and of itself intelligent? Does it supply raw undeveloped intelligence as in an infant? Can it plan?
