" What am I missing here?"
To put it bluntly: EVERYTHING
This is not even remotely analogous to any evolutionary theory.
The mechanisms are completely missing.
This is the classic theist strawman against evolution.
Evolution does NOT predict that these parts would start
self organizing at all.

Quote from ShoeshineBoy:
Hey, wait a minute! I was just listening to celtic music and smoking incense - that's what all us mystics do instead of smoke and drink - and it hit me!
You guys believe in almost infinitely more self-organization than I do! I mean I'm impressed that the universe has organized into clouds, molecules, galaxies, planets, etc. but you guys take the statistical cake.
Let me post a hypothetical story:
"Once upon a time an Evil Scientist took some old automotive, watch, computer, VCR and camera parts and laid them out on a table. He decided that this would be his greatest invention - he would build a robot and then train it to destroy mankind.
But to his amazement, the parts started selforganiaizing! It was almost as if there was a magnetic force drawing the pieces together and organizing them into a Borg-like structure.
He beamed with joy as decades of tedious research and labor were being vaporized before his very eyes. Unfortunately, the little robot grew in size, strenth and intelligence and quickly subdued the Evil Scientist with a paralysis-inducing mixture of Ajax and Thai Peppers and quickly turned him into the first cyborg of his newly formed Evil Empire..."
Hey, I think I'll write a script. But here's the thing. This story seems far-fetched - a bunch of parts that "magically" self-assemble.
Yet, that is essentially what you guys believe? What am I missing here?
