Romansh; here is a reply > > https://richarddawkins.net/2014/12/letter-to-the-editor/-An answer to your non-answer:-Quote from Krauss:-"4.My ASU colleague Paul Davies may have said that “the appearance of design is overwhelming”, but his statement should not be misinterpreted. The appearance of design of life on Earth is also overwhelming, but we now understand, thanks to Charles Darwin that the appearance of design is not the same as design, it is in fact a remnant of the remarkable efficiency of natural selection. I(my bold)-Natural selection is not active as Krauss implies. It is a passive recipient of what new forms are presented to it and then it acts as a judge for survival. The active part of evolution is the search among trillions of potential molecules to find new proteins to perform the new functions. That is Metaxis prime point. It is very clear.

It is very clear.-I did not read as Kraus saying that.-For me is natural selection is the interaction of the environment with molecules that can replicate. Certain combinations of molecules and environment are more conducive to replication than others. Variation during the replication process due to cause and effect has lead to increasing complexity of these molecules that replicate and ultimately has lead to what we describe as life.

Certain combinations of molecules and environment are more conducive to replication than others. Variation during the replication process due to cause and effect has lead to increasing complexity of these molecules that replicate and ultimately has lead to what we describe as life.-To me you are presenting a fascinatingly garbled theory. A ménage of cooperating biochemical molecules do create life, but life is the whole organism. Every molecule in life is constantly replicating, as cells are born and die. The whole organism struggles to survive. It is the variety of organisms that are presented to their total environment that natural selection acts upon. It can only act upon what is previously presented.
