Unbelievable. Somehow you can't process what I said so many times. I believe in evolution. Later species evolved from earlier species. How is it possible that you can't process what I said?

One example is James Shapiro's research showing complex mechanisms cells have for correcting errors in their DNA. So there you have the fact that cells can purposefully modify their DNA, and these DNA changes are the opposite of errors. Just one example. The research is not finished.

Other genetic research has shown that mutation rates can increase in response to environmental stress. There is some randomness in the changes, but the increased rate of mutation is purposeful.

There are many more examples. If only you had not stopped thinking about it after high school biology, you would be more aware.

Of course. That is why I corrected you on Shapiro when you first mentioned him.

Yes, you keep linking to this as if it supports your position when it does no such thing.

The section on Pribram actually refutes it while agreeing with the latest idea that consciousness is a product of most of the brain working together.

Perhaps it's your claim that micro cannot become macro - which I'm still waiting for you to address in the other thread.

Preferably in the science forum. I keep checking, but he is never there.

Maybe you can continue the remedial education in the Science forum.
