The potential recipient of the "Origin of Life Prize" must, in the end, present an arugment constrained by the limits of human langage, using just the right symbols to make perceptible what is the cause behind self-organization resulting in matter that may be studied under the discipline called "biology."

LOLOLOL! I believe the scientific term for that is "anthropic principle".
