Based on recent ultra-high-speed electron crystallographic studies, water, on lipid and poly-ionic surfaces, forms transient linear elements of hydration in ice-like cubic conformations. Although the elements last for only about a million millionth of a second, in losing energy to adjacent water molecules as they form and absorbing energy from the surface as they leave, they moved molecules from randomness toward order to produce structures which were so much in spatial harmony with the order/disorder properties of the environment that they could assemble spontaneously and produce the living cell. Molecular evolution and the formation of life was a creative miracle!
