Will to form

Molecules have an inherent propensity to bind, making complex items. They have a will to form structures. If certain chemicals get into contact with each other, reactions will occur. Bigger and bigger compounds form. The shift from pure chemistry to biology is significant but inevitable. This shift occurs in an environment where the temperature and pressures are just so. If it is not stable for long enough, it all goes in reverse. Think again of snow, at the right temperature with enough moisture the flakes form around a seed. Each wondrously structured snowflake forms automatically. It sure seems incredible that elements and compounds self-assemble into beautiful configurations. It is even more incredible that this will to form brought viruses, bacterium and then bigger creatures into being. The lifecycle, birth to giving birth dictates the rate of evolution of the species. Viruses and bacterium can replicate so much faster than larger animals hence we see faster changes take place. Hours versus years. Life forms reach evolutionary dead ends. They may step back or step sideways a little so long as the new form is still viable.
