She's thinking that because someone had to program in "If three cells are next to the active cell, it dies because of being outcompeted.", it means that someone would also have had to program the universe to do the same thing.
Jenny - the point of the program is to show that, "Given X set of random assigned parameters, our artificial Laws of Physics of this little universe in the program, you can just start with randomness and let it go, playing by the rules randomly set, and it will produce many complex things... even in that tiny, simple little program."
My favorite is the "glider gun".

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
