> DAVID: It is simply a different way of viewing the same observations. The bacteria act very intelligently. No question. When one asks how they do it, the Shapiro interpretation and the ID approach are just as equally reasonable.

> dhw: Thank you. If you find both approaches equally reasonable, perhaps you will now accept that the hypothesis of an autonomous inventive mechanism (possibly designed by your God) is just as reasonable as the hypothesis that all innovations and peculiar lifestyles were preprogrammed 3.7 billion years ago or are the result of divine dabbling.-Could be autonomous, but since no one knows, semiautonomous fits my theories better.
