Cont:

Chemistry does organise itself  as do many complex systems. However until you can show self sustaining replicating molecules organising into more complex ones your never going to answer it! I would give Dawkins that question every time then sit back and smile.

WOT No mention of Zeolites!

LMFAO simple question , and lots of uncomfortable shuffling! Why not put their hands up and admit they are clueless about the origin. Lots of complex chemistry that we don’t understand how it organised its self into self replicating molecules.
