Natures wonders: ant rafts and towers (Introduction)

dhw: I see ants building structures (rafts, towers, nests) which seem to me to require intelligence. I propose that individual ants cooperated intelligently as a community to design these structures. The authors propose that they build them “automatically”. You presumably propose that God gave them instructions. All of us extrapolate our conclusions from “what the data might mean”. None of us can prove our proposals.

DAVID: I did not presume God gave them instructions for rafts or towers. Again, your overreach.

Apologies for the misunderstanding, but in that case I can only assume you agree with me that the ORIGINAL rafts and towers were the product of ant intelligence, so what are we disagreeing about?
