I'm confident you're capable of answering your own questions if you 
just give them a little thought.

[Arlo]
I didn't make the claim. You did. Here are the questions again.

Can you explain the difference (if any) between saying "cells have 
intelligence", "man has intelligence" and "Quality has intelligence"? 
What does it mean to "have intelligence"?

Also, if "cells have intelligence", where does that intelligence 
reside? We localize human intelligence in the neural mass in our 
heads (I doubt we'd say an amputee becomes "less intelligent" upon 
losing a limb, or that such an operation would impact her/his 
"intelligence" at all).

Do you think carbon atoms ever had "intelligence"? Do they now? At 
what level does "intelligence" finally disappear. You say that "cells 
have intelligence", do you think Ribosomes or Mitochondrion "have 
intelligence"? What about more macrotic cellular constructs, does a 
stomach or a heart "have intelligence"?
