> When I listen to you two going back and forth, it always makes me smile.... then it makes me scratch my head at the things that aren&apos;t being discussed.-With all of this "intelligent cell" talk and "innovation from cell communities", has the scope of what you are saying really ever been considered? You talk about developing a kidney, an eye, or a limb as if it were something trivial to design and implement. I would remind you that you are essentially talking about single celled organisms developing technology that humans don&apos;t even understand, much less have the capacity to duplicate. So either you are saying that single-celled organisms are more intelligent than humans (while this might be true for some humans, I doubt it is true for all..), or your theory holds no water. Not only are organs and tissues mindbogglingly complex, but the vast majority of them are considered to be "functionally perfect", and have been so for millions of years.-Just how much intelligence are you willing to ascribe to a single-celled organism, or even a collection of them?
