Magic embryology

DAVID: You never tell me how your innately intelligent cells developed the ability to think.

dhw: Nobody knows how ANY organisms, including ourselves, developed the ability to think, but I have always included the possibility that your God designed the mechanism. I am an agnostic, not an atheist.

Understood.

“Man-made cell” and “Man-made corona virus” and “sending molecules to proper spots”

Your first comment generally applies to the other two illuminating articles as well:

DAVID: this is a simulated model made up of pick-up parts. So let me ask where does the independent intelligent activity come from? It is obviously built into the parts which know somehow how to work together. This is miraculous. Organic molecules know what to do only when put together properly. Separately they simply lie there as separate parts. Only a designed system fits the question I asked. This degree of design requires a brilliant mind. No other conclusion can be reached.

dhw: Yes, somehow cells - just like humans - “know”. And as I have repeatedly agreed, this mystery coupled with the amazing complexity of the design, is one of the strongest arguments for the existence of your God the designer. Where does the "independent intelligent activity" of cells and humans come from?

ID answer is molecules have their actions designed into the byplay of all molecular reactions all occurring simultaneously. God gave us our brains as part of His designs.
