Random shuffles would indeed lead to things that can't live. They die off and don't muddy the picture too much after that. Moreover, if MANY "random" shuffles could lead to appearance of life, then there must exist a practically infinite abundance of different forms of life - including on our planet. This is not the case, which indicates that the "shuffle" most likely was NOT random, but rather directed. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Some "shuffles" will be unsuccessful. The more successful shuffles are the ones we see. Maybe I'm missing the point...
