DAVID: Cell communities do not have the mental capacity to cause speciation. That is the point of intelligent design.
And later: Cells are not intelligent enough to arrange for speciation. Your hypothesis is a minnow of an idea expanded into whale.

dhw: Spoken with great authority, but I love the image! However, I still find my hypothesis more believable than one in which your God preprogrammes the first living cell to turn some of its descendants into minnows to turn into eight stages of whale so that they can provide food to keep life going until the programme produces various hominins and hominids and humans until it produces the brain of Homo sapiens and the duckbilled platypus.

You are out of sequence. The platypus appeared millions of years before hominins.
