Immunity system complexity: how T cells are triggered (Introduction)

DAVID: Please tell us which organelle in a cell can possibly plan with thought?

dhw: If we knew that, there would be no debate. Please tell us which organelle in a cell contains the 3.8-billion-year-old computer programme for every single action that it will ever perform.

DAVID: Simple. The genome.

dhw: Then we can all look forward to the day when a Davidian disciple cried “Eureka!” having at last discovered in the genome God’s 3.8-billion-year-old computer programme for every single cellular action that has ever been performed, plus every action that will be performed in the future.

DAVID: Or God dabbles. I'm still reading Behe's new book. He finds broken genes that cause new developments and quotes Darwin scientists who agree and then make excuses to protect Darwin gospel.

dhw: You were suggesting that my hypothesis is invalid because nobody has found the material source of cellular intelligence. Nobody has found your God’s 3.8-billion-year-old computer programme for all bacterial actions (plus the whole of evolution). If my proposal is out, so is yours. Your alternative appears to be that your dabbling God is always on the spot, permanently doing all the thinking for every individual bacterium in every individual situation from the beginning until the end of time. Doesn't that stretch even your credulity?

God does not have to be at the beck and call of each bacterium, if He simply implanted intelligent instructions for proper responses to stimuli in the genome.
