.Reasoning is just a small part of the having-an-advanced-technical-culture game.

Matter cannot reason and not even the most ardent materialists argue that living things can will themselves into a new species so this argument is absolute nonsense.

In what manner is this a relevant response to the extract quoted?

Seems quite obvious to me that matter cannot reason and not even evolutionists claim that organisms can will themselves into new more advanced forms of life. It takes a designer, a reasoning being to think and design things, not inanimate matter. Further that is the problem with this whole program - it was designed by intelligent beings. It was given 'logic' and 'reasoning' which matter does not itself has. It was given the power to self-modify itself which matter and not even living organisms have the ability to do. Therefore this experiment is as I (and many others have said) total nonsense. If evolution be science, then it needs to prove itself in real life. That it cannot do so, shows the emptiness and the lack of value of the theory, and its utter dissociation with real life.
