> dhw: It's not a question of you agreeing or disagreeing with me. I am a non-scientist layman confronted with the opinions of scientists who have spent a lifetime studying the subject. In their opinion, their research "contains information that supports their views as they interpret the findings". Their statements are unequivocal: cells are not machines but are living sentient beings. You call this hyperbole, but in the same breath you agree that there is a 50/50 chance of them being right. In my view, that is reason enough to keep an open mind, and to take seriously all the implications of both opinions.-You keep missing the point I make. I equate the automatism of my own cells as proof single celled animals are its equivalent. Shapiro studies bacteria, not human kidney cells. I am not sure he recognizes any aspect of my thought pattern.
