Stem cells

QUOTE: "Self-generated gradients have now made sense of perplexing behavior in cancer cells, fish embryos, immune cells, bacteria, slime mold, and more — and findings are accumulating rapidly."

DAVID: I simply imagine each cell has a GPS system with the proper endpoint presented which they must follow Just like we use in our cars to reach an intended destination. The designer at work.

dhw: Why do you think your God designed a GPS system for cancer cells?

DAVID: He didn't. Cancer cells are molecular genome mistakes using available normal systems to their advantage. I noted the neat switch trick using my GPS quote above from a different discussion.

dhw: The quote above says that self-generated gradients explain cancer cells, and you compared it to a GPS guiding the cells to their intended destination (now bolded), as designed by your God. So I just wondered why your God would have given guidance to cancer cells, as the article states (now bolded).

DAVID: The article does not invoke God. Cancer cells simply usurp available God-given machinery from their previously normal cell basis.

dhw: It is you who invoke God in your interpretation of the article, which would mean your God provided cancer cells – like all the other cells in the list - with a GPS system. Or are you coming round to thinking that, like viruses, maybe they work out their own route to survival?

I have to add God. The articles I quote, other than ID ones, don't mention design. Cancer cells are real cells with distorted DNA and easily use all the available cell machinery they need to grow and spread. Nothing new to 'work out'.
