These scientists made this molecule themselves. The real aim of abiogenesis is to show how a self-replicating molecule could have formed naturally on the primitive Earth.<br /> <br /> That’s a big step up, but there’s still a long way to go.

Now we have a kind of molecule which can replicate itself. Maybe in another 50 we will have it all figured out. I won't be around, I hope humanity is.

Rather than start with RNA enzymes – ribozymes – present in other organisms, Joyce’s team created its own molecule from scratch, called R3C. It performed a single function: stitching two shorter RNA molecules together to create a clone of itself.

Wow…can you say Intelligent Design?
After all, it didn’t happen spontaneously…

Thanks for the proof of ID Dave…
