>> If you want an example of a being born from a being less intelligent than they are, it happens at least 1/2 the time on average, for some definition of "intelligent". Or is there actually some meaningful pont you are trying to make?

>Well yes, that is an example of evolution, i.e., change over time. What I wanted was an example of an inorganic forming into an organic. The distinction is not irrelevant unless you've preconceived that such is religious talk.

So, intelligent=organic, and I'm supposed to have figured that out from your question?

There are multiple natural ways for organic compounds to form for inorganic, and these scenarios can be replicated in a well equipped high school science lab. And if you don't beleive that any of these methods correspond to the early
earth, organic compounds have been found in multiple space-based sources, so they could have come from meteors or comets if not formed here.

Sorry if my terminology isn't just right.

I was using organic in a more generic way to describe life as a living and self-replicating organism. To my knowledge that line has not been crossed.
Am I wrong?
