Any transformation that is not forbidden by the laws of physics can be achieved given the requisite knowledge. - Life without design by Chiara Marlettowhat a phenomenal fatuous piece of junk. I clearly remember this David Deutsch. I even read his The Fabric of Reality. He should be compared with David Birnbaum.
University of Oxford my ass
at least some people see this clearly:
I couldn't agree more, this article is pseudoscience garbage.[see Prigogine saying ...life starting out of chaos with the same inevitability as we see a stone falling to the Earth.
...consider a pot of water being heated by a hotplate from underneath: if the hot plate is on low the heat will diffuse up through the water in a disorganized manner; but, at some critical temperature convection rolls will form spontaneously in the water. They form because the increase in energy dissipation wins out over the reduction in entropy induced by their formation.
This is exactly the mechanism driving the formation of life! The existence of life is not mysterious, it's inevitable!
