I haven't backed away from anything.
-----------------------------------------------

No you said current dogma is that there is no intelligence there.

Now you're revealing your reading comprehension problems again. The only reference to dogma I made to you was the dogma that ID is heretical creationism and anti-scientific .... in the view of the self-appointed keepers of scientific orthodoxy.

I don't think there is any orthodoxy regard cellular intelligence one way or another.
--------------------------------------

Huh!? Those are your words: "reason" & "free will"...

Yes, they're my words. When you say cells are intelligent what do you mean if they don't reason and act on free will?

If intelligence doesn't include reasoning and the ability to act freely as a result, what does it consist of?

----------------------------------------------------

Huh!? Making my words up for me AGAIN! ROFLMAO: Cells display intelligence and it's metabolism as well as interactions with it's environment are "non-random" as has been known for ages...

Non-random doesn't mean intelligent.

Instinct would be non-random, but not intelligent. A robot's actions could be non-random, but not intelligent. A plants growth and movement in response to light is non-random ..... but intelligent?

You're using words in a sloppy manner again.

----------------------------------------------------

making the "protein" argument for intelligent design a non-starter. Got Refute? {crickets- thought so}

More babbling. There may be some confused thought behind what you wrote .... who knows?

---------------------------------------------------

As far as "intelligence", "conciousness", etc. I'm just pointing to where you're going to have to go... Of course I don't expect you to actually "go there"... you can't get out of your tiny box on ANY topic.

Jihad is easier... I know. :)


Whenever you can't read and write in an intelligent manner (hey, do Daks exhibit intelligence?), you turn to disjointed insults to cover your embarrassment.
