And while we’re at it, let’s not forget that natural selection also built the chariot, toaster oven, and space shuttle. Go here for another case of nanodesign, unanticipated but readily rationalized by evolutionary theory: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/07/12/0321217&from=rss.

Presumably, once we can program bacteria like little robots, they can build just about anything physically possible with atomic precision given raw materials, energy, and a non-toxic environment.DaveScot_{July 14, 2006
