I rephrase your wording --it reflects ongoing surprise at how wrong evolutionists were in assuming that simple-life ooze could reflect such intelligence—a pseudo-scientific assumption that has been remarkably resistant to true scientific evidence to the contrary.

But you are wrong, as usual. Considerable scientific study has gone into octopi and teuthids, which you will find on the menu at Dimitri's as Polvo and Calamari respectively. In addition to being damned good eating, they are representatives of the Cephalopod Mollusks, a group that has been around since the Late Cambrian Era, or about 500 million years longer than we have.

Not surprisingly, they have the most developed nervous systems of any invertebrates--on a par, in fact with many vertebrates, including, apparently, many creationists. However, they are quite intelligent.

Such creatures could not have evolved from ooze;

So YOU say. We have been asking for evidence for more than a year, but you have not been able to provide any. We can assume therefore that no evidence exists, or you would have been able to provide it.

Fact is, they DID evolve from earlier life forms. There is evidence of this in their body plan and their genetic makeup.

...they are marvelously designed.

...by their environment, by natural selection, and to an large extent, by themselves.

It would be idiotic to enter an art museum and declare that all the works on the walls showed no intelligence—how much more a walk through a forest or garden of living art!

You are after all, the expert on idiotic behavior... For example, your argument falls flat on its face because art is art and animals are animals; they are not the same.

Gosh...Humber owned again! What are the odds? LOL
