One example... Your talking about a flying rock, what if it were 1,000,000,000 rocks that hit 1,000,000,000 different houses in order and landed on the words that rewrote a shakespeare classic? Is it the same, well those 1,000,000,000 rocks had to land somewhere...
I think there has to be a limit to this kind of thinking, will no amount of coincidences that point towards a creator ever make you think "maybe it's not a mistake"??

You are amazing.. Here you have the retort to you own arguments. If it was that many (rocks and houses) , it is likely than one would it the words "luckyme". I don't know why, from one word, you jumped, in your argument, to the complete words of Shakespeare. LOL

Regarding the primordial soup. It is very likely. The basics of life (in molecular terms) are relatively simple (in fact it's one of the beauty of it, imo). Also, there is no reason to believe that other self-replicationg mechanism could not exists, or be possible, on a completely different basis of life as we know it.
