George: All this proves is that the RNA portion of genetic control is much more complicated than anyone thought 10 years ago. The 'RNA World' hypothesis is just that, a conjecture with no way of proving it. It is just as likely that RNA preceded DNA as that RNA and DNA arrived simultaneously by chance or on purpose. No one will ever know. The odds against even the simplest RNA just popping up are stupendous as we all admit. I'm not surprised at the findings. I concluded years ago that this result would appear. It had to. We have too few genes to account for our complexity, based on genes alone.
