Please, Shrunk.

We are not discussing the computer.

We're discussing the software which makes it run.

Instinct makes him able to stay upright and run in the first place. The question before us is 'how did that instinct evolve'?'


That's exactly what I'm talking about.

So are you going to answer the question?


I'm sorry, but that is the question you have to answer. My answer is that he was created able to do so, with the instincts implanted.

What's yours?




My answer is that immaterial, invisible fairies routinely perform magic every time someone wants to do something - they just make it occur precisely as intended.

So prove me wrong.
