Baraminology? Can you study that at CalTech or MIT?

In any case, since you want to discuss “irreducible complexity”, here is an interesting and brand, spanking new tidbit.

First Examples Of RNA That Replicates Itself Indefinitely Developed By Scripps Scientists
Main Category: Genetics

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.

The work was published on in Science Express, the advanced, online edition of the journal Science...

“This is the only case outside biology where molecular information has been immortalized,” says Joyce...

So, is it now RNA synthesis that is “irreducibly complex”?

cacoethes_resipisco- Coyoteman ALSO posted that deceitful article, and it was thoroughly refuted- ALL Joyce managed to do was INTELLIGENTLY DESIGN AND CONTROL the experiment to produce a desired outcome- it was a fine example of MICROEVOLUTION resulting from an INTYELIIGENTLY DESIGNED experiment- nothign more- Again- Are you goign to discuss the paper we’re discussing or not?

If I can create a non-biological machine that self replicates, given an inexhausatible energy supply, what does that prove? That I am a clever designer?
