dhw: So the argument that lots of scientists agree with you that bacteria are not intelligent carries no weight whatsoever. You are left with your own subjective view, just like your opponents, and your view is not based on science but on your subjective interpretation of science.

Of course my final opinion is subjective. My point is individual opinion is worth more than consensus, as Einstein proves. I don't believe the global warming garbage either and have lots of skeptical scientists with me. No theory is proof.
