> >Matt: How can you say that with conviction when we don't even know what the DNA of the first organisms really look like? I'm all for challenging Dawkins, but with the exception of abiogenesis, we have a pretty clear picture of the life of biology, and the picture painted is from incredibly simple to incredibly complex. And I still have never seen anything that suggests that the genome is informed by any source other than the external environment, evolution and epigenetics included.

The basic cell is not simple.-Yeah, because you're looking at cells that have undergone a few billions of years of evolution. Have we done the experiments to build a cell from scratch? That's the only way you're going to get any kind of answer. -Rehashing old ground, but you ceded that point to me years ago. (of course a cell that has undergone that much evolution would be complex.)

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
