> dhw: I'm not aware of anyone doing my thinking for me, though I know some lovely people who give it a good try! I'm glad you think the higgledy-piggledy bush and the extinction of 99% of species and the ever changing balance of nature are all compatible with your God having planned humans from the start of evolution. That will save you from thinking any more about it.-Just don't think for my construction of a reasonable theory for me. I keep watching the literature, and will change my mind if a demonstrable lead appears. Note I do it most days of the week.
> DAVID: the whole arrangement can have come from God's planning.

> dhw: Yes, indeed. Your God could have planned a mechanism that would autonomously and with unbridled zeal create its own combinations (some successful, some unsuccessful).-Thank you. That is my concept.-> 
> dhw: Your first cause, eternally conscious energy is just a proposal, without any basis in study. And cells that appear to act intelligently may be intelligent, and perhaps their intelligence was designed to act autonomously.-All true. It is a logical proposal based on the resultant reality we see.. The genome, designed with intelligent planning will then act intelligently.
