Thank you for posting this -- there are folks in this newsgroup
who have made it a cornerstone of their theology that
self-organization of matter is not a reality.
Because it isn't.
Quoting from the URL cited by Kleinser himself:
Dr. Mario Ruben's research team at FZK is responsible for designing
molecules with built-in instructions, which when read out activate the
self-selection process. He comments: "Spontaneous ordering from random
mixtures only occurs when built-in instructions are carefully designed and
sufficiently strong to initiate successful self-selection."

"What is the Nature of Evidence of Design?" 1853.
....
" . . . It is the business of science to investigate these causal chains. If
they are found not to be independent but to meet in some ascertained point,
we must transfer the [226] evidence of design from the ultimate fact to the
existence of the chain. Thus, suppose we ascertained that watches are now
made by machinery . . . the machinery including the watch forms one more
complicated and therefore more evident instance of design."
....
"The search for such invisible potencies or wisdoms may appear novel and
unsanctioned. . . . For my part I do not think that any speculations about
the personality or intelligence of subordinate agents in creation could ever
be perverted into witchcraft or demonolatry.
"Why should not the Original Creator have shared the pleasure of His work
with His creatures and made the morning stars sing together, etc.?
"I suspect that such a hope has prompted many speculations of natural
historians, who would be ashamed to put it into words.

James Clerk Maxwell:
But when thy Science lifts her pinions
In Speculation's wild dominions,
We treasure every dictum thou emittest,
While down the stream of Evolution
We drift, expecting no solution
But that of the survival of the fittest.
Till, in the twilight of the gods,
When earth and sun are frozen clods,
When, all its energy degraded,
Matter to aether shall have faded;
We, that is, all the work we've done,
As waves in aether, shall for ever run
In ever-widening spheres through heavens beyond the sun.

even as industrial businesses that harness
these processes are springing up.
So Babylonian "self-organization of matter" is a misnomer
for novel techniques, continually being improved,
of nanoscale manufacturing.
It's an impressive technology of man, not an evidence of Evolution,
for which no evidence has ever been given, only scientific lies.

1 Introduction
A short overview of the field of condensed matter self-organization on
surfaces is proposed. The different mechanisms responsible for
self-organization will be covered, with examples taken from semiconductors,
oxides and metals.
In this document I will call self-assembly (SA) the process by which
nanostructures are fabricated spontaneously by deposition on a surface.
These nanostructures might by dots, stripes, wires, tubes etc., and in
general they display no long range positional order. I will call
self-organization (SO) a special case of SA, that where the nanostructures
display a long-range position order. We will see that in most cases the
order is caused by self-organization of the substrate surface itself before
deposition, not to phenomena related to growth. Note that this definition of
SA and SO is not universally admitted in the literature.
This article is not alone, it is just the latest in the growing body
of work that is establishing the principles of self-organization,
a number of which may be accessed within the sidebar of this page:

ScienceDaily (Nov. 1, 2007) - The automatic molecular assembly and selection
steps exhibited by the molecules, which start as random mixtures,
demonstrates a fundamental step in the evolution of life. The organization
is activated by instructions which are built-in to the molecules. ...
.... The resulting nanostructures also hold great promise as an efficient
avenue to new catalysts, nanotechnologies, and surface applications.
In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, the
scientists from the research groups of Klaus Kern at the Max Planck
Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart (MPI) and of Mario Ruben at
the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) explain that this observation of
molecular organization at surfaces may lead to further insight of how
simple, inanimate molecules can build up biological entities of increasing
structural and functional complexity, such as membranes, cells, leaves,
trees, etc.
"The ability of molecules to selectively sort themselves in highly organized
structures is a fundamental requirement for all molecular based systems,
including biological organisms," explains Prof. Dr. Klaus Kern, director of
the Nanoscale Science Department at the MPI.
Dr. Mario Ruben's research team at KIT is responsible for designing
molecules with built-in instructions, which when read out activate the
self-selection process. He comments: "Spontaneous ordering from random
mixtures only occurs when built-in instructions are carefully designed and
sufficiently strong to initiate successful self-selection."
Scientists at the MPI directly observe the basic step of self-selection by
imaging grid-like assemblies of molecules, which have sorted themselves by
size. The features of the grid pattern are about one nanometer in size
(0.000 000 001 meters), so small that they can only be imaged using
state-of-the-art, ultra sensitive microscopy techniques. "Creating such
miniscule architectures with features 50 000 times smaller than a hair is
not a simple task," according to Dr. Steven Tait of the MPI. "Carving these
nanometer structures with current technology would be inefficient and
extremely expensive. Our strategy is to utilize instructed building blocks
which can arrange themselves into desired structures."
The molecules are placed on ultra-clean metal surfaces and heated gently to
enable motion, sorting, and organization. ...
Professor Kern is the director of the Nanoscale Science Department at the
MPI and leads a large research team conducting a wide range of studies
related to the electronic, optical, and chemical properties of novel
materials at the nanometer scale. Dr. Ruben is the leader of the research
group "Functional Molecular Nanostructures" at the Institute of
Nanotechnology in Karlsruhe and has a long-standing competence in the design
and synthesis of instructed molecular components.

Theory of Heat (1871),
by James Clerk Maxwell:
"Admitting heat to be a form of energy, the second law asserts that it is
impossible, by the unaided action of natural processes, to transform any
part of the heat of a body into mechanical work, except by allowing heat to
pass from that body into another at a lower temperature."
~~The Maxwell Statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
I heartily recommend this material to Bullaites around the world.
The first principle of self-organization is The Force,
as all Lucasians know.
First Principles of a New System of Philosophy (1862),
by Herbert Spencer:
So that the continuity of Motion, as well as the indestructibility of
Matter, is really known to us in terms of Force. Here, however, the Force is
of the kind known as Energy - a word applied to the force, molar or
molecular, possessed by matter in action, as distinguished from the passive
force by which matter maintains its shape and occupies space: a force which
physicists appear to think needs no name.
....
§60. In the foregoing two chapters, manifestations of force of two
fundamentally-different classes have been dealt with - the force by which
matter demonstrates itself to us as existing, and the force by which it
demonstrates itself to us as acting. ... That the space a body occupies is
in part determined by the degree of that activity of its molecules known as
heat, is a familiar truth. Moreover, such molecular rearrangement as occurs
when water is changed into ice, is shown to be accompanied by an evolution
of force which may burst the containing vessel and give motion to the
fragments. Nevertheless, the forms of our experience oblige us to
distinguish between two modes of force; the one not a worker of change and
the other a worker of change, actual or potential. The first of these - the
space-occupying kind of force - has no specific name.
In other words, the phenomena of Evolution have to be deduced from the
Persistence of Force. As before said - "to this an ultimate analysis brings
us down, and on this a rational synthesis must build up." This being the
ultimate truth which transcends experience by underlying it, furnishes a
common basis on which the widest generalizations stand; and hence these
widest generalizations are to be unified by referring them to this common
basis. Already the truths that there is equivalence among transformed
forces, that motion follows the line of least resistance or greatest
traction and that it is universally rhythmic, we have found to be severally
deducible from the persistence of force; and this affiliation of them on the
persistence of force has reduced them to a coherent whole. Here we have
similarly to affiliate the universal traits of Evolution, by showing that,
given the persistence of force, the re-distribution of Matter and Motion
necessarily proceeds in such ways as to produce these traits. By doing this
we shall unite them as correlative manifestations of one law, at the same
time that we unite this law with the foregoing simpler laws.

George Lucas, the Force and God
by Terry Mattingly
A long time ago, in a movie multiplex not so far away, a child looked up and
asked: "Mom, Dad, is the Force the same thing as God?"
Children have been asking that question for 20 years. The simple answer is
"yes." But this raises another question: Which god or God is at the center
of the "Star Wars" universe?
The trilogy's creator was well aware that his work invaded turf
traditionally reserved for parents, priests and preachers. George Lucas
wrote "Star Wars" shortly after the cultural revolution of the '60s. He
sensed a spiritual void.
"I wanted it to be a traditional moral study, to have some sort of palpable
precepts in it that children could understand," said Lucas, in a recent New
Yorker interview. "There is always a lesson to be learned. ...
Traditionally, we get them from church, the family, art and in the modern
world we get them from the media -- from movies."
Lucas set out to create a modern mythology to teach right and wrong. The
result was a fusion of "Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe" and Joseph
Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," of Arthurian legends and
Japanese samurai epics, of Carlos Castaneda's "Tales of Power" and the
Narnia tales of C.S. Lewis. Along the way, Lucas sold $1.3 billion worth of
tickets and "Star Wars" merchandise sales have topped $4 billion. Now, a
revamped "Star Wars" is back in theaters, to be followed by its sequels,
"The Empire Strikes Back" and "The Return of the Jedi." A trilogy of
"prequels" is set to begin in 1999.
....
At the end of Pollock's book, Lucas acknowledges that, by setting his goals
so high, he is asking to be judged by very high standards. The creator of
"Star Wars" explains that one of his least favorite fantasies is about what
will happen when he dies. Perhaps, he said, he will come face to face with
God and hear these words: "You've had your chance and you blew it. Get out."

51 And it is in this manner that Satan with his mists of darkness and his
retarding of the human mind, and lies hath deceived you, O man, as

ordinances and broke my new and everlasting covenant which I the Father
did make with them.

1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen
upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the
people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon
thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of
thy rising.

4 Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people, a leader and

unbelief to refute these sayings of mine, for they are verily true, and if
they (the world) do not know it now, they will know when they and I stand
before Him whom I have seen with my own eyes in that day, and I, Art Bulla,
the Lord's anointed for this generation, bear testimony against them
according to the truth to their everlasting damnation and shame and torment.

evolution. By their fruits ye shall know them, saith the Lord. ...
