You know, it's funny. If you were walking in the dessert, and you saw a $12,000 Rolex ticking away on the ground, you wouldn't say- "gee, I guess the sun heated the sand of trillions of years, and through light refraction and molecular blah-blah this watch must have risen up out of the quartz"- or some such. you'd say- "Hey look- somebody dropped a watch."

And if watches were known to make imperfect copies of themselves on a regular basis, you might have a valid analogy. But they don't, so you don't.

What's the matter? Didn't like having your blatant falsehoods called out so you switched to bad analogies?

Some day, I'm sure, humans will come up with self replicating technology. That's not a stretch of the imagination- but they won't evolve because God anticipated the problems we would have on the earth, and built into teh genome line after line of extra programming- also called "junk" genes. Not all of it is junk. Much of it has saved us again and again I imagine. What you call evolution, I call redundancy.

And solar radiation as a means to add lines of code? Take a floppy disc with software and wave a magnet over it, and see how many new lines are written.
