> dhw: Strange how you like to quote theistic scientists who agree with you, as if this gave your beliefs some authority,-Surprise!--> dhw: I wonder how many other palaeontologists (not to mention biologists) believe that God planned evolution around humans.-My guess is the ID folks and some others
> 
> dhw: Regardless of Simon Conway Morris's beliefs, I'm sorry, but I still can't see how 25 separate evolutions can be taken as evidence for the planning of a single species.-You will have to read his book.

> DAVID: Why don't you comment on the articles I present, like in today's material molecule transport in the cell?-
> dhw:(“Of course chance invention cannot create this”) does not require further discussion, since we have long since agreed that the complexities of life are not the product of chance.-The reason I keep showing the increasing scientific knowledge of the complexity of living matter is to make just that point. Chance doesn't work, so design must happen. You've invented a wild scheme having cells get together and design their future functions and forms.

> dhw: Yet another example of symbiosis, in which organisms - including plants - may be said to work out their own ways to survive. But if you believe all the details were planned and included in a computer programme God implanted in the first cells 3.8 billion years ago ... in order to produce humans, so be it.-And so it was!
