Harold Bernhardt outlines the failings of the RNA World Hypothesis, and makes his case for "proteins first". Some memorable quotes: "The RNA World scenario is bad as a scientific hypothesis" -Eugene Koonin “[The RNA world hypothesis] has been reduced by ritual abuse to something like a creationist mantra” -Charles Kurland "I view it as little [...] Rating: 0.00 (0 votes)

Previous thread long and off-topic – this seems as good a place as any to pick up the conversation on a new thread. "Looks like chunkdz talks a big religious game, but when it comes to protecting his house, he puts his faith where it belongs – in science. After all, the Bible tells us [...] Rating: 0.00 (0 votes)

Some opinions so far: "laughably stupid", "utterly futile", "comical", "not even wrong", "goofy", "just silly", "arrogant", and "absolutely, positively, comically stupid" Actually, all those comments all came from one commenter named "aiguy". (The fact that my definition has provoked a steady stream [...] Rating: 0.00 (0 votes)

When Nature announced that biologists had artificially created a jellyfish I was very excited. Jellies represent some of the earliest life on the planet and a synthetic version could offer some insight into life's origins. How in the world did they turn rat cells into a jellyfish? Did they find a way to trigger some [...] Rating: 0.00 (0 votes)
