I'm putting this up just in case anybody out there is as sick of politics as I am these days, and is looking for a bit of a break, a change of pace.... :^)

Joe Biden’s hair plugs and Donald Trump's comb overs are definitely “non life”.

RNA cannot be synthesized? That must come as a surprise to the enzyme RNA polymerase. Perhaps they mean that COMMERCIAL synthetic RNA synthesis is not as available as commercial synthetic DNA synthesis.
Also nothing in evolution says that a species must by necessity evolve into a more complex species.

As to the topical question, Jean Drew flails about helplessly where greater minds have already already made great strides.
Check out Erwin Schrodinger’s book “What is Life?”

Check out Erwin Schrodingers book What is Life? Check our Bohr's "Light and Life" (1932).

“Wimmer began with the information sequence of RNA which he synthesized to DNA (because RNA cannot be synthesized”
http://biosyn.avxtrk.net/RNA_overview.aspx
These guys must be surprised to find out RNA cannot by synthesized! They are MAKING A LIVING selling synthetic RNA.
Why should we take anything this person has to say seriously when they do not even get the basics correct?

The fans of random speak and act as if they think the problem of symmetry is irrelevant to their concerns. In science, order comes from greater order. The atheist has to explain how symmetry can arise from randomness and chaos.The deeper one looks at the natural material world there is more symmetry and order not less.

It is possible to have a fulfilling life, but that refers to the duration of one’s existence rather than to an accurate description of the stuff doesn’t appear to be “in” a rock, but is “in” a sitting-and-talking-man.

In science, order comes from greater order. Which is more ordered, a bucket of seawater or the salt crystals that form when the water evaporates? A cloud of water vapor, or a pile of billions of unique, six-sided snowflakes?

I knew something was wrong so I used his article and did some googling on keywords there in such as ‘siRNA oligos’.
What they are talking about are siRNA or ‘short interfering RNA’.
siRNA: Oligonucleotide (or Oligo) is a short segment of RNA or DNA, typically with twenty or fewer bases. Although they can be formed by cleavage of longer segments, they are now more commonly synthesized by polymerizing individual nucleotide precursors. Automated synthesizers allow the synthesis of oligonucleotides up to 160 to 200 bases

Jeepers, just think of the extraordinary symmetry and order of quarks....
Thank you so much for your astute observation!!

From their website....
“With over 20 years experience in custom synthesis for the biomedical research communities, BSI has developed the expertise to deliver custom synthesized RNA with quality that meets all your RNAi, siRNA, shRNA and other RNA projects...”
They mention RNAi and siRNA because that is the “new hotness”. They can also meet your “other RNA project (needs)”.
The author should have said “because RNA synthesis is more difficult/more expensive”, but hopelessly out of their depth the author went with “because RNA cannot be synthesized” which is incorrect any way you look at it.
