A THEORY OF INTELLIGENCE Part Three (Identity)

DAVID: Excellent summary of your thinking. There should not be life in an inorganic universe but it appeared in all its complexity. And your final puzzle as to why there is intelligence can have only one answer. Intelligence preexisted the appearance of the Big Bang.

Thank you, but as always I’d be interested to hear your response to my thinking. Do you regard life and consciousness to be the work of a divine scientist or a divine magician? When you quite rightly emphasize the complexity of design, do you think it has nothing to do with the ultimate products, which are life and consciousness, and these have to be magically “breathed into” the lifeless materials instead of being produced by the application of science to those materials?
