The children are like protons and the toys are like electrons and the pairs of children are like hydrogen atoms, bonded together by a pair of electrons that they both want.
And it all happens naturally. The probability that the bonds will form is 100%.
Can you tell us how the protons, electrons and hydrogen atoms came into existence?
The fallacy of your argument is that you assume everything happens naturally.
Do you have evidence for this natural origin?
What seems more logical, a planned reason for these events, or "well stuff happens" and we don't want to speculate about how it happened.
Just assume it was a natural event?

In ringo's message, I don't really see any mention of proteins of life. I see an opinion that life will evolve from natural mechanisms.
How is his post on topic and mine is not?
