> dhw; [i]Now do please explain to me how your preprogramming works with the amoeba. Are you telling us that your God preprogrammed the first cells to pass on instructions for thousands of amoeba to get together, for about 80% of them to become spores, about 20% to become the stalk, and 1% to maintain their phagocytic function?[/i] - DAVID: [i]The steps from simple amoeba to the complex community stalk, etc. are just as giant steps as the Cambrian explosion, not explainable by Darwin. It is obviously a pre-planning step to beginning multicellularity, and therefore requires as much guidance as the Cambrian explosion[/i]. - &#147;Guidance&#148; can only come in the form of preprogramming (or personal intervention/separate creation). Therefore I take it you believe there was a special amoeba programme as described above, plus a special programme for every innovation, lifestyle, strategy and natural wonder from Day One of life to the present, allowing for every environmental change (unless God fixed those too) - all inside a cell so tiny that we need a microscope to examine it. I wonder how your God ensured the survival of those first cells and the passing on of all the right programmes to all the right organisms, to be activated at all the right times. But you do not see why anyone should find such a hypothesis questionable.
