Was that last question directed at me, or offered as a response to my question? I'm just trying to get some clarity on why you might think that running a lottery in a lab, or flipping a coin (imagine that I also did that in a lab - the two things don't seem to be operating on different principles - I assume that if you don;t consider one to be chance you won;t consider the other to be chance) would more appropriately be considered a case of "man's influence".
I don't think that chance is the salient force involved in the origins of life - but I couldn't ignore it's effect or involvement. In the end, as before- I just don't know (no one does). Perhaps it was just chance or chance was the most powerful player in that drama....... but my money is on chemistry. Where you'd get the idea that I'm of the opinion that man was involved in this is beyond me. Last I checked, there weren;t any humans around "at the start of time" -or- at the point in which we see the origins of life.
