And if I may respond for Beebopr: See a biology book. Chemical reactions are not “life”. Life requires a wee bit more complexity than autocatalytic RNA that goes nowhere, leads nowhere, and suffer immediate entropy. Try adding a regulatory network that magically already knows what to do. Try doing it without any intelligent input whatsoever (none) – since that *is* what your theory presupposses. Go ahead, try it.

Oh, and Danny, you are a Wiki fan I am certain, here is the first couple of paragraphs on Wiki about Lenny (the person you claim is not even a prominent physicists):

“Leonard Susskind (born 1940[1]) is the Felix Bloch professor of theoretical physics at Stanford University in the field of string theory and quantum field theory. Susskind is widely regarded as one of the fathers of string theory for his early contributions to the String Theory model of particle physics.[3]”

“In 2007, Susskind joined the Faculty of Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, as an Associate Member. He has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was awarded the 1998 Sakurai Prize for theoretical physics. He is also a distinguished professor at Korea Institute for Advanced Study.[5]”

Who is mistaken, you or I?
