[QUOTE="PsychoSarah, post: 72795225, member: 345531"] -_- but if they were randomly assembled letters, they'd still be designed, because humans designed letters. Meaning is irrelevant to the arrangement of noodles being designed, because all noodles are designed. Yet, I wouldn't assume that the alphabet soup had the noodles intentionally arranged to spell out a word, because it seems quite feasible for that to happen by chance from time to time, given how many short words there are in English. Technically, I could view any stand alone a's and i's as independent words being spelled. Heck, I'd go so far as to say, given the circumstances, that alphabet soup noodles randomly spelling words from time to time is an inevitability. Also, define coherent. A river carving out a canyon over millions of years is perfectly coherent with our understanding of erosion, but I wouldn't claim that the river had consciousness. No, that's not how I would describe abiogenesis at all. I'd describe it as natural processes resulting in a collection of molecules that can replicate the entire unit. I've never compared any aspect of abiogenesis to anything humans have invented in a serious context. Heck, calling it the primordial soup has always been a joke. [/QUOTE]
