Hmm..Let's look at this way..Every set has "souls"...So just grabbing some
sort of pieces randomly and stucking them each other would not be resulted
in a "set". Bricks are the basic elements of lego beings, and they can only
bacome a lego being (i.e. "set") when carefully arranged and given a "soul"
by the "creator". There are some flaws in that theory, and the most obvious
one is Town Jr. They are apperantly Lego beings (i.e. "sets") although they
have appereantly no "souls"
There is also another theory. It claims that all the lego pieces may come
together in different combinations randomly (actually as ruled by nature, or
by obeying the rules of nature, so not as randomly, rather just as they
should be) and some combinations would have more chance to continue their
living among others. So, these "successfull" ones would continue to live and
evolve, hence the more primitives would became elected. This theory has also
an obvious flaw, which is the case of Town Jr. again. Although they are
extremely primitive, they obviously succeeds their existence.
