Hume said that the problem with knowledge was that the principles used in establishing factual knowledge cannot establish themselves. The are no verifiable general statements and the basis of science is non-scientific. The basis of life is non life. As in if you took yourself apart atom by atom and left it in a pile there would be no living material there. This is too much. How are we supposed to deal with this when what is, isn't? So if swarms of cells have intelligence and purpose how far can we take this, does a swarm of atoms have purpose and intelligence out side of living (sort of) things? Is the universe, which is a mass of atoms, have purpose and intelligence? That would mean it all is intelligent design, or not?
