  1. Dear Mr Dennett, Thank you for your insights and extensive research and your knowledge in general that you have so graciously shared with the world. Dan, I have a wrench to throw in the spokes of your wheel of wisdom, however. We have got to factor in that the living cell to have happened by chance in the primordial soup of an early Earth is not on-the-charts of possibility. The outer membrane of the simplest cell, a yeast cell, has 10 to the 78 billion combinations and only one is possible for it to work. Secondly, at 35:50 in your talk you mention Picasso's quote: "I don't seek, I find." It is not an arrogant summation of his own mind power, what he means is that as a painter he doesn't stop until something in his mind tells him that he has found the best way to solve the particular problem that he was working on. Nothing more.
