Right on, buddy, I'm with you all the way. You can do this with atoms
and stuff too. I mean, say you get together a whole mess of sodium and
chloride ions in a glass of water, shake the hell out of it and then leave
it in the sun for a few days. What sort of maroon is going to believe
that those atoms are going to self-assemble into an unbelievably neat
crystal, made up of _millions_ of rows of alternating atoms, sodium,
chlorine, sodium, chlorine...do you guys _really_ believe that something
with such a high degree of order can just "spring" from some sort of
primordial soup with no intervention from something?
