> > > DAVID: [i]You are confusing the automatic reactions to stimuli I have discussed in the past, with the cells ability to adapt through epigenetic and mutational changes when required. The cells have both abilities. James Shapiro is clear on this. And I know you reject all theories as a bone fide agnostic.[/i] > > dhw: There is no confusion. Your ... at the end omits the whole point of my post, so let me restore the missing section: “[i]Adaptation is one possibility, but the same mechanism may be also be capable of innovation[/i]” - the alternative which I am offering to random mutations and your own divine pre-preprogramming. Of course we know that cells/cell communities adapt,...-I was only objecting to the statement of yours: " pure automatism may result in extinction". We both agree single cells can adapt.
