dhw: I have on several occasions drawn your attention to the work of G. Albrecht-Buehler, who has spent a lifetime studying cellular biology.
G. Albrecht-Buehler’s Cell Intelligence Website

DAVID: I have re-read his website. Nothing in it changes my interpretation that automatic processing is happening. What I find interesting is what you are following is over 20 years old. Have you found any advances by followers in his research which covered 30 years? Remember all looks the same from the outside.

dhw: Nothing will change your opinion because you have made up your mind to dismiss any research that suggests you are wrong. As I keep pointing out, the argument that all look the same from the outside can be used to support determinism, which you rigorously oppose (and which I certainly don’t support). As for modern research, Shapiro is still active in the field, and this Wikipedia article mentions Eshel Ben-Jacob’s team of researchers.
Microbial intelligence - Wikipedia

Perhaps you would now name some modern scientists who have proved that bacteria are NOT intelligent but have been given personal tuition or preprogrammed by your God to solve virtually every problem thrown at them.

All of the ID folks think so. I followed the lead you offered and found the same type of findings. All can be interpreted as automatic responses as understood from the outside of the organisms. There is no way around the alternatives we offer each other. It is 'either/or' and believe whatever you wish.
