Self-Reproducing Molecules Reported by MIT Researchers

It's all about self-replicating molecules & this isn't even new science.

Granted it gets rejected by creationists but then again they usually leave common sense at the door anyway - but I know you are a Physics dude so you should be able to get your head around it no problemo. For more information rty searching for "aminoadenosine triacid ester" - that should give you plenty of references.

This isn't 'absolute proof' of anything, especially abiogenesis but it is a bloody good start and imho a lot better than the usual 'goddidit' argument peddled by creation "science" (an oxymoron if I ever saw one) or ID or whatever-the-fuck they have rebadged it into this week.
