I am (as no doubt expected) totally with Wade on this one. Somebody has
their chicken harnessed to an egg. The only way anything conscious happened
was through evolution. Even today, virii have not bothered with
consciousness, yet they evolve quite merrily (and rapidly) on their
chemically and physically dictated evolutionary paths. As do the very
elegant self-replicating chemical soups being cooked up in laboratories all
over the world.
Better luck next time.
