ROMANSH: ...evolution is guided by the environment a living creature finds itself. So in that sense it is guided.-DAVID: Have you followed the epigenetic mechanisms in which the organism seems to mimic Lamark? And guides its own destiny?-Delighted to see this exchange. It clearly supports the theory that evolution proceeds according to the interaction between an ever changing environment and the adaptive and inventive mechanisms within the cell communities of the organisms themselves. No pre-planning. No pre-programming. Not even divine intervention. The organism "guides its own destiny." Hallelujah!
