dhw: This would seem to be yet another example of the way in which cell communities intelligently adapt and innovate in accordance with their environment. Of course you insist that such changes are preprogrammed by your God, because according to you these communities behave automatically.-DAVID: No, you misinterpret! The organisms (flies) have the ability to adapt to their environments, with their epigenetic abiliities on board. The preplanning is in the ablitity, not innumerable life plans. Keep it simple, not complex is the rule.
-Then why not acknowledge that the ability of the various cell communities to perceive and process information from the environment, to communicate with other cell communities, to decide which steps are necessary - even to the extent of innovation - constitutes a form of “intelligence”? If the “life plan” has not been preprogrammed, the cell communities must take the decisions themselves. They are therefore not automata.
