> DAVID: [i]The living brain has emergent properties. The brain does not know what you want to think or learn, but it adapts to that automatically when you do those things. This plasticity is supposed to have conjured itself up by chance, if you accept any part of Darwin's theory. Poppycock still fits.[/i]-You persist in knocking down the straw man of chance. That is not our subject here. Our discussion concerns the alternative hypotheses I have offered in my other post on this thread: 1) your concept of divine preprogramming of every innovation and every organ right from the first forms of life; 2) the alternative explanation that all this complexity has come about through cooperation between cells, whose intelligent mechanisms may even have been invented by your God. The concept of the intelligent cell dispenses with chance, and also allows for theistic evolution.
