George,
> Yes. I know all that. My comment about Nietsche was just a facetious little joke, not intended to be taken serious in that way! If it's going to divert the discussion, I'm sorry I put it in.
> - Sorry, I'm used to people misusing that N quote. All the time. It was a knee-jerk. I won't do it again with you. - > The point at issue here is that "explaining" life-as-we-know-it in terms of creation or design by gods, or any other pre-existing living entities, is not a real explanation of the origin of life, since it already presupposes the existence of life. - Ah... begging the question. I hadn't really brought that up, but I'll be very interested to what Dr. Turell says to that. It rephrases (in plain english) my challenge that a creator doesn't really explain anything...

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"

\"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.\"
