i was watching this bbc documentary on the ongoing "debate" between evolution and intelligent design. part of the documentary discussed the issue of why it's so difficult (mathematically, nearly impossible) to recreate life. consider the following example. take a deck of 52 poker cards. shuffle the deck and lay them out one at a time from the top of the deck to bottom in a straight line face up. note the order of the cards. then, repeat the entire process until you come up with the exact same order. assume, the original order of the cards represents the factors that had to go in to creating life. while it is true, that you could spend your entire life trying to recreate the conditions, and still never achieve the original order of the deck of cards, it does not change the fact that the original order did occur. does it?
