> > dhw: Do you really think I don't know the meaning of “inventive”? - I am still formulating a God-arranged process for speciation. I initially misused the concept of inventive mechanism as I was thinking out loud. I have defined it now as a set of pre-planned instructions for a new species in some still hidden area of the genome. I expect it to be found.-> dhw:The information is knowledge accumulated from the experiences of earlier inventions all the way back to the first cells, and the inventiveness is the product of an intelligence that is cognitive, sentient, communicative etc.-Let's take your view of cells: 'cognitive": calls can chemically recognize signals and follow genomic instructions as to appropriate responses; 'sentient': cells recognize signals by chemical reactions, and give genomic guided responses; 'communicative': cells send messages to each other by different biochemical molecules which are recognizable as signals. How much mentation, as implied by your use of those words is really involved? None. Cells are primarily automatons. There is no escaping that fact. -One of the best examples of epigentics is 25 years old: Reznick's guppies change size when threatened by predators. They are still guppies. No answer to speciation. This is what your cell community theory is capable of, no more than that.-> dhw: Plenty here to be bothered about!-Agreed. Please find a better theory for speciation. I'm stuck with mine.
