Evolution: It WORKS, bitches.
Just saw this nifty little story online: How Did Life Begin? RNA That Replicates Itself Indefinitely Developed For First Time
One of the most enduring questions is how life could have begun on Earth. Molecules that can make copies of themselves are thought to be crucial to understanding this process as they provide the basis for heritability, a critical characteristic of living systems. New findings could inform biochemical questions about how life began.
Now, a pair of Scripps Research Institute scientists has taken a significant step toward answering that question. The scientists have synthesized for the first time RNA enzymes that can replicate themselves without the help of any proteins or other cellular components, and the process proceeds indefinitely.
Oh, well… so much for those Creationists who say life can’t come from non-life… we’re just about ready to prove them wrong
