You might be right here, although I don't think that something that only moves when a force is apllied to it suddenly moves on it's own just because there are more of it.

Also it is true that one particle cannot write this message but more together can, however that doesn't mean they have chosen themselves to do so.

If only particles exist, how do you explain the existence of living cells?  And even if living cells exist, how do explain the existence living tissues composed of cells let alone organs made up of systems of tissues?  For that matter how do you explain multi cellular creatures.  If you can't explain it, obviously we don't exist and the volition we experience as creatures is entirely illusory.  No free will is only the tip of the iceberg; it's actually no nothing, all the way down .. except for particles of course.  They are free to continue binging around haphazardly.  

Nervy matter thinking it can just come together in any old manner that suits it.  Doesn't it know that our ability to explain it is paramount?  Without a good explanation particles may only bing around chaotically.  At least until we can explain how they do more than that they should refrain from all forms of complexity.[/sarcasm]

I don't quite understand what you think cells are made of. Molecules maybe? And please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't molecules made of atoms, and atoms of neutrons and protons (and elektrons) , and aren't those made of quarks, and aren't quarks and elektrons subatomic PARTICLES?

That's like saying houses don't exist because they're made of bricks.

On the other hand I'm sorry if your whole comment was sarcasm, that isn't clear to me.

I dunno, do we? Maybe we should make more just to find out.
