Return to David's theory of evolution PART 1 (Evolution)

DAVID: The fact that my thoughts seem senseless to you shows how you have no understanding of how to think about God as I do. Why can't you accept the above? "I trust He knows what He is doing."

dhw: We are descending into farce. Once more: if God exists, I have no doubt he knows what he is doing. But when you tell me that you can’t find any logical explanation for YOUR theory bolded above, and it “makes sense only to God”, how can that mean it makes sense to you?

Your farce alone. What is logical is I trust God knew how to do it. My analysis of God and evolution tells Adler and I God had a goal of producing humans by evolving them.

Ecosystems

DAVID: Your usual illogical complaint. The huge human population requires multiple ecosystems.

dhw: Your usual evasion. You can’t explain why every extinct ecosystem was an “absolute requirement” for sapiens plus food, […]

DAVID: No evasion. All life must eat in every ecosystem.

dhw: Correct. That does not mean that all extinct life and all extinct ecosystems were an absolute requirement in preparation for sapiens plus food!

DAVID: The major point: without delicate ecosystems at all stages of evolution to support life evolution would not have progressed. The bold is your usual illogical complaint.

dhw: If life hadn’t continued, then obviously there would be no life now! So back to the bold. Please explain why every extinct life form and ecosystem – including all those that did not lead to us and our food – had to be specially designed as an “absolute requirement” for us and our food.

Why can't you accept God CHOSE to evolve us from bacteria, as His created history shows.>

dhw: According to you, then, all ID-ers agree with your illogical theory of evolution, and believe that we must think of God as acting in a manner that makes no sense to us.

What makes perfect sense to us, if not you, is accepting God as the designer of evolution.

Human only networks
dhw: Plasticity is what enables cell communities to create new forms. It is not confined to the brain. What is your point? Are you now telling us that DNA is separate from the cell?

DAVID: The plasticity code is in the cell DNA.

dhw: Thank you for telling us which part of the cell is responsible for its plasticity. How does that come to mean that the plasticity of cells and their networks all over the body is not essential for speciation?

DAVID: You are introducing a tortured interpretation of brain plasticity to explain the enigma of speciation. Why?

dhw: We are getting nowhere. My point is that plasticity is not confined to the brain, and if other cells were not plastic, evolution could never have happened. Perhaps you could remind us of the point you are trying to prove.

The word plasticity, as applied to the brain, has very specific meaning. I'm not trying to prove anything except to point out your tortured attempt to bring the issue of speciation into a brain discussion.
