I am reminded of simple computer programs that are allowed to evolve by combining the most successful ones. Very quickly we get programs that can mimic life.
It is not a throw of the trillion dice every time! It is then weeding out of the useless numbers after one throw, and throw again with loaded dice.
Our weakness as humans has turned into our ultimate strength. We are born helpless and lacking very few survival skills and depend on our parents and others for initial survival and teaching us these same skills as we get older. It is this long process that has led to our dominance of the planet.
We can evolve quicker than our genes. Our knowledge is stored in books and more lately on line.
I just wish that more people would learn the lessons that are stored in the multitude of these books rather than relying on the scratchings of goat herders in one book that they call holy.
