Interesting. You cite an example of an intelligent agent, or shall we say "designer" setting conditions for a chain to self replicate.

Weak, very weak. Look - here's a man-made model of a tornado. That must mean actual tornadoes are intelligently designed, right?

Gimme a break. Try not to assume that every quality that the model possesses is also possessed by the actual thing being examined.
