No we wouldn't.

I understand that a typical thunderstorm uses up several countries' worth of
generating power.

But we would - we do - need very complex systems to do
it. Even the ignition system of a car is an awful lot more complicated
than anything nature uses to produce lightning.

All right, then. How about a paperclip inserted into a 13amp socket for
simplicity?

Life, on the other hand, does not require vast pressure or enormous energy;
it requires precise measurement, delicate adjustment, intricate meshing of
this with that, an exact sequence of events.

How do you know?

I read books.

God bless,
