[[The reason why I was asking is that I have read about several such experiments, and in each case they must intelligently control the initial conditions, otherwise the RNA will stick to everything it touches.]]
This was quite the same GGG- intelligently designed- infact, it was a designer RNA that was used for hte experiment because a natural one presented problems that could not be overcome naturally- The article is one of htose ‘nothign new under the sun’ articles where they artifically inflate their claims to deceive people into thinking life could arise naturally and unintelligently- when the simply fact was that they had to engineer the RNA first before they could proceed with their ‘origins of life’ experiment
That’s what I thought. Thanks for entering the fray and helping to mix things up. So far I have seen nothing to contradict Williams’ paper. I think he should submit it to the Evo journals so they can nix it without explanation (with heavy emphasis on “without explanation”).
