  Living organisms are not just random collections of organic molecules. There
is continuous information processing going on in the apparent bouncing around
of molecules of life. Optimisation criteria in this information processing can
be searched for using the laws of physics. Quantum dynamics can explain why
living organisms have 4 nucleotide bases and 20 amino acids, as optimal
solutions of the molecular assembly process. Experiments should be able to tell
whether evolution indeed took advantage of quantum dynamics or not.
