> > DAVID’s comment: [i]Yes, who is driving the bus? All of these molecules, DNA and others in the cell, act as if they were thinking workers in a human factory turning out a product. They must work on information that coordinates their movements. Every cell in the human body or other organisms is doing this at every moment of their lives. Too complex for chance. It requires mental planning.[/i]

> > DAVID: [i]It is all very revealing. But not amazing enough to have you recognize God had to plan life. Perhaps the individual molecules are operating through a form of quantum consciousness. All of their activity has purpose, and demonstrates planning.[/i]
> > 
> > dhw: The question here is whether the purposeful activity of all of these molecules, DNA and others in the cell, denotes that they ARE thinking workers or are mere automatons. That has been the debate between us. I say they may be thinking workers. You say they are automatons. Whichever they are, when I say “[i]maybe your God made them that way[/i]”, I mean maybe your God made them (or if you prefer it, planned them) that way.
