Some people (not me) believe that we are the result of random chemical interactions.  I wonder what the probability is that they assign to us existing.  Because it has to be less than the probability of machine men existing.  The existence of such machines would fit more into the notion of evolving randomly by fitness since they would be more durable and require less variety of resources.  The number of micro organisms and organs and what not that must work together in order for humans to work compared to what a machine man would need, most likely would astound us.

On a side note I found this neat PopSci article, http://www.popsci.com/have-we-found-alien-life, haven’t read it yet but it looks interesting.

Just a note, I’ve been sick for that past few days, most likely the flu.  Thats probably why I’ve been writing such odd posts…  Oh well.
