Define clone. If you could provide a numerical range for each trait and a total number of traits, I could do the math for you =P

So you're not interested in my first scenario. What about this one then.

Let's stick with women and let's use Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in their primes as the standard. Obviously if you were to use Marilyn Monroe and the ugliest woman on earth you could make a lot more women but let's keep the quality as high as possible.

How many more unique looking women of that quality could you create before you ran out of options and they started become samey? Reusing hair colour and eye colour etc is okay but their faces must be clearly different to everybody.

Is it possible to create an infinite amount of unique looking women of that standard?

If not then you can't with movies and songs either unless you lower quality, make minor changes, or start replicating them.

Evolution lacks utility.

Thats why god is going to fly down on a glass panel after he lets us all kill 90% of each other, and remind us of that.

Both books were created on purpose not by accident.
Neither books evolve on their own.
Both books describe universes which contain characters and events which are alien to us (fantasy; creative lying).
Both books are copyrighted.
Both books cost money to own.
Both books were created for humans to read.
The central theme in both books revolve around one side vs another (good guys vs bad guys) and one side in particular always wins in the end.

So if humans create things in their own image then it means the writers were also created on purpose not by accident.
The writers don't evolve on their own.
The writers like fantasy.
The writers want credit for their things.
The writers want to be rich instead of poor.
The writers are human.
The writers discriminate against a certain type of person (they don't love all).

So the writer of writers was created on purpose not by accident.

Pus, both books can be reissued brand new with a different cover so they're highly customizable and practically immortal.
