DAVID: It is easy to see that automatic programmed action can be the answer. In ants automatic individual action has been shown in studies I have presented.

dhw: The studies you have presented show no such thing. They show the automatic use of chemicals as ants and cells put their highly sophisticated strategies into practice, just as humans use chemicals to implement their thoughts. And the studies certainly do not prove that the highly sophisticated strategies used to cope with ever changing conditions were preprogrammed by your God 3.8 billion years ago.

DAVID: You have forgotten. The study on ants travelling quotes the authors as saying the individual ants acted automatically in their roles.

dhw: There have been dozens of studies of ants, and you and I always reach opposite conclusions from them! In any case, since when did you accept the verdict of authors? Shapiro has studied bacteria and says they are intelligent, but do you take his word for it?

I analyze results and reach my own conclusions when I have a proper background of training. I accept Shapiro's findings, not his interpretation. As for ants, all I can do is quote the author's conclusions, as you do with Shapiro.
