David I repeat, under your scheme of things how did the birds invent the nest? It seems hunt and peck is all you can offer, or what is your otherwise nebulous theory? > > BBella: If God created humans with just a touch (tiny amount) of consciousness which gave us a bit of intellectual ingenuity of his (albeit making sure we aren't anywhere as gifted as he), why couldnt he also impart even less, a minuscule bit, of this ingredient to all of his living creation, therefore making every living thing innovative in their own way?-Certainly crows show this and I'm sure many others do too. But with the weaver birds, they live in a very complex structure, which I seen in Africa. Look up a picture.
