> > dhw: I will try to summarize our discussion, since David&apos;s last post offers some important concessions. >  > We have been locked in battle for many weeks over the concept of the "intelligent cell" as a possible explanation for the course of evolution. David believes that cells behave automatically, and God has preprogrammed them or dabbled with them. However, he takes seriously the research carried out by Margulis, Shapiro, Albrecht-Buehler and others, who conclude that cells are indeed intelligent. In his previous post, still in the context of the intelligent cell, he again raised the question of First Cause. >  > As an agnostic, I am open to all options though believing in none. I gratefully accept your gracious acceptance that the intelligent cell offers a possible explanation for the course of evolution, -All I have been trying to do is have you accept the theory that the way the cells seem intelligent is that they operate from intelligent instructions (information) in their genomes, with tightly controlled responses to stimuli. Otherwise cancer.
