Origin of Life: new RNAzyme (Introduction)

This article like most others is whistling in the dark. We cannot relive the history of the start of life. We won't know if a method found in the lab is the correct one, only that it can be done. The article does not mention the 100% left-handed amino acids that life deals with. That is just as big a problem as a right handed RNAzyme. And besides all the work proves so far is that it requires intelligent design. " I am skeptical that life began in this way”, Szostak's comment is the correct way to look at this. And finally there is not much evidence that there were many organic compounds on the early Earth when life started.-http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-twist-in-life-s-start-could-aid-efforts-to-make-it-from-scratch/?WT.mc_id=SA_DD_20141205
