DAVID: Individual ants work in unison as programmed, while humans act individually. No conceptualization required.

dhw: Why “as programmed”? Yes, they work in unison – so do humans when the action requires teamwork. And you still refuse to acknowledge that all strategies such as bridge-building must have had an origin which requires an inventive intelligence, and once a solution had been found to a particular problem, it would have been passed down to subsequent generations.

DAVID: That the ants start and stop or move along in unison is their individual programming. If you have ever marched. as I did in the Army, you'd understand. Soldiers don't bump in formations.

dhw: So did your God preprogramme your march 3.8 billion years ago? Or did he pop in to give you marching lessons?


If I was trained to act like ants, the ant instinct could give the same result. You wouldn't want to bump into other people. Ants don't either, as the article notes.
