This will hopefully help me write my book one day

Here's a question. At the website, DESY, a recent article asks, How do molecular motors convert chemical energy in to mechanical work? At the end of the article an animated graphic of a complex molecular motor with worm gears is show in very slow motion. My question is, how did random processes ever bring into reality that complex molecular motor?

[carefulcarpenter]

Yes. The question is more important than the answer. Curiosity follows.
Examples:
To a friend: Do you think that woman would go out with me?
To a professor of psychology: Would she make a good wife?
To yourself: Was this meant to be--- both her and I grabbing this cab to downtown?
To her: Wow! Do you mind if we share this cab?
