Here's the latest on the "RNA World"

> Researchers discover Remnant of an Ancient RNA World

Scientific discoveries can be very exact and very acceptable, but it is the interpretation of the implications that gets folks in trouble philosophically. If you wish to be an atheist, then the interpretation of the headline can support that point of view. If you are agnostic then you can wonder at the complexity, but not be sure. If you tend to theism, then it becomes a marvelous example of God's creation. Science is only science. The past can not be re-created, only possibly (with faith) approximated. Antony Flew kept an open mind and allowed his preexisting prejudices to be influenced. All I see here are minds cast in cement. And loose horses can get into all sorts of places they shouldn't go. They are accidents waiting to happen.
