> > dhw: We have reached a dead end, as you have made it clear that even a God-designed autonomous inventive mechanism is out of the question for you. However, you have acknowledged in the past that no-one can tell the difference between automatic responses and autonomous, intelligent responses. So long as there are scientists who argue in favour of sentient, cognitive, decision-making cells/cell communities, and no satisfactory solution has been found to the mystery of innovation, my hypothesis has to remain a possibility.-It still depends upon the word sentient, which can mean an automatic response to stimuli. As tis article shows multicellular cells can communicate just like bacteria in quorum sensing. Why not? Cells that are &apos;uni&apos; learned first and when they joined logically they carried the same abilities to the &apos;multi&apos; state:-http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/hair-regrowth-discovery-suggests-skin-cells-communicate-like-bacteria/?WT.mc_id=SA_WR_20150415-"Bacteria chatter among themselves. A chemical signaling system called quorum sensing allows those single-celled bugs to detect when their numbers have multiplied enough to mount an effective attack or emit glowing light. Yet decades after scientists learned about this brainless bacterial coordination a research team has uncovered new evidence suggesting animal cells may speak the same lingo."-All by chemical reactions, under the control of DNA instructions.
