Default How smart are fish ?

Instinct: a largely inheritable and unalterable tendency
of an organism to make a complex and specific response to
environmental stimuli without involving reason.

So someone decided to redefine the word? hehehe


No, no redefine... I should say there are two kinds of reflexes:
instincts (inheritable) and conditioned reflexes - these are
the ones you "learn" during the life...
Both kinds of reflexes have nothing to do with intelligence.

I find it interesting that you are arguing in this
direction after your earlier argument about the anemone
fish and it's anemone.


My argument before had nothing to do with evolution...
Here I am reacting to your statements about creationism.
