The Lightening
Rod William Genius is a highly qualified and talented programmer working for a large software developing company. He was arrested and charged with the development and spreading of a computer virus known as The Opener. It is impossible to use any web browser on a computer infected with The Opener. As soon as a web browser is opened, The Opener goes berserk and keeps on opening web pages until the computer's memory is depleted.

All investigations lead to Genius's internet connection at his home. During a raid on his house the original source code of The Opener as well as code to spread it , were discovered on one of Genius's home computers . This lead to his arrest.

Genius's denies writing this virus. He is claiming that his computer wrote the program, all on his own. All the data and methods to create a program like The Opener was available on the computer. He is adamant that the program originated spontaneously on his computer without his knowledge. According to him the same thing happened in nature when life originated. Nature was even more skillful than his computer. The DNA code not only behave like a program, it even made it's own hardware.

The Opener and similar programs very easy to develop. Every time a browser is opened the keystrokes involved generate and activate the necessary actions via machine language. It was thus not a great achievement for the computer to develop The Opener virus.

He also states that The Opener had it easier than DNA. All the hardware and computer languages necessary for it to evolve already exist on the computer. (DNA had to produce and develop its own hardware). Computers are very fast and computes millions of of calculations per second. Changes that occur over many years in nature , happens in minutes on a computer. Millions of years in nature is comparable to days on a computer. Genius also claims that he used the specific programming in which The Opener originated, for five years. All his programs were continuously upgraded. The hardware used by him is also always the latest and most advanced. In spite of may upgrades , he data stayed intact . If automatic program writing occurred on his networked come computer system , it would continue at a even faster rate after each upgrade The virus had five years to develop spontaneously on his system. This five years is comparable to millions of years in nature. His computers are never switched of. He states thus that time was not a factor and that his computers always contain the latest available technology. He further states that random occurring chemical reactions produced a complex program known as life. The development of Life was much more complicated than that of The Opener, yet it is widely accepted that the origin and development of life was a completely random set of events, a coincidence. Nearly everybody beliefs in evolution but nobody wants to belief him. His postulation is however even more credible than evolution. How can one set of events being regarded as possible but another set of very similar events are regarded as impossible?
