I think this is what your getting at...is it possible for the watch (life) to assemble itself through random movements...perhaps, but more likely to have been put together.....Well at least I would not shake a box for billions of years just to see what time it is........
WOW thats fucking awesome! thankyou this makes it much easier for me now.

basically the watch will NOT assemble itself inside the shoebox, obviously, same thing goes for life.

What I'm saying is not that life does not assemble itself, because it does. There are many parts or biological life that self assemble (such as viruses).

Viruses are made of DNA (or RNA) and a protein capsule. If you throw all those ingredients into a test tube... you will have viruses my friend, its a fact thats been proven.

Many other proteins that our bodies sythesize also self assemble. The reason they self assemble (and the reason ANYTHING happens on this earth) is simply because of the PHYSICS of the elements.

Now think about how many chemical systems make up your body...

Done thinking?

If you thought of EVERYTHING, then you are right. The elements present on this earth have been designed to follow certain rules.
Then, based on these rules, WHOLE BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS exist, such as hormones.


I'm frustrated because its hard to explain, and it doesnt do it justice to only give one example. EVERYTHING that goes on in your body, and EVERYTHING that makes up your body is made of elements that opperate a certain way because they must follow rules.

Now tell me we werent designed by someone or something.
Now tell me that we all happened by accident.
