Experiments on “Self-Replicating” RNA Indicate the Need for Intelligent Agency in Life’s Origin
Any evolving system of RNAs would quickly include almost exclusively RNAs that performed no biologically useful actions.
New Article Purports to Help Explain the Origin of the Genetic Code
Without all of the described investigator interventions, a system of replicating RNAs could never emerge or even sustain itself.
