There is no evidence to support the theory that a seed has been designed and neither is there any reason to suspect that it has been, apart from the above point.
And if science does 'create' a self replicating system it will show once and for all that given the correct circumstances, life will arise by itself as a natural consequence of the laws which govern our Universe.
By the way.. Is this you?

Yes, that is me
In that video I was talking about sexual evolution which has also never been explained but that has nothing to do with this conversation.Let me ask you this: Do you believe if everyone agreed to stop having sex that humans wouldn't cease to exist in a single generation?
Also you seem to not understand your own application of anthropic principles when you suggest that mutation "favours" or nature "selects"
We all know that nature doesn't select anything. Biological viability has been termed natural selection to give it an anthropic tone.
