Word 6.0 is an imperfect copy of Word 5.5.

Did Word 5.5 replicate on its own to produce 6.0? If not, then your attempt at an analogy still fails miserably.

And yes, any sysop can write a script that causes a system to self-replicate, and even do so with variants -- say to handle the differences between a teacher's workstation and that of a students.

You're suggesting "variants" of specific definition, not analagous to biological life forms. You only further demonstrate that your analogy was completely invalid, inane and stupid from the very beginning.

Your no-designer myopia blinders you. They are all analogies of how designs are replicate, how designs change from version to version. And such is exactly what the obseved variety of species can be -- that all species present on Earth today arose from one protogenitor cell is most improbable in comparison. Everything seen in cells and DNA can equally be explained by intentional design.

And just as running program code never sees nor senses the programmers and sysops, so we biologicals never see our designer -- yet we can infer design and designer.
