QUOTE: Single cells don’t have minds of their own – so surely they don’t have goals, determination, gusto? When we attribute aims and purposes to these primitive organisms, aren’t we just succumbing to an illusion?

dhw: All the subsequent intellectual faffing around would be totally unnecessary if only Talbott would take the bull by the horns and acknowledge that single cells have their own form of intelligence (not to be compared to that of the human mind), and we do not know its source.

How about God as the agency? This author just mimicked Talbott
