<He's not interested in that as its largely irrelevant to the subject of origins.> Fine... but my point stands... and you're statement "you'd be wrong"... is in fact what is wrong. <You're 100 or 200 years behind... ie. "bags of water".> The point is, neither do scientists any more... <If the topic is ID, its ON target.> Re-read... the point was nobody considers cells bags of water any more but highly intelligent... which you disputed. <However, I get the impression you think cells are contemplating and reasoning .... as if they're thinking - gee, how will I build this protein and then thinking through the problem and coming up with a solution.> We know all sorts of cell activity (not just building proteins, but that is cool) is not only non-random but can be observed to change based on it's environment... ie. it is reacting to environmental changes. That's why one needs to discuss/define, etc. terms like "intelligence", "mind", "intentional", and all sorts of other terms when speaking about living systems. <No, the intelligence involved is designed into their encoded DNA.> But how does it all work? There must be an interface between the "plan" or "design" and cell metabolism? For example, you aren't just a robot are you? DAK
