'Origin' just rockets out into the universe!-I wouldn't throw it out as an excuse. You said yourself that we only had 8 amino acids to start with? My point is to say that we do not know enough about the formation of planets as well as deep-space chemistry to rule out that idea. Those amino acids came from somewhere, and even if our origins were directed by some kind of intelligence, those other 12 didn't simply appear from nowhere. They came from somewhere.

\"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.\"
