Just thought you might enjoy this cartoon series:

> Found it on facebook.-George: Wonderful to have you visit. Stay awhile. That cartoon is marvelous in explaining one approach to the major questions about the start of life. It uses the RNA world with lots of supppositions, and has no explanation for the Cambrian Explosion, but, in fact, that is exactly where research is today. Scientific study turns up more 'we don't knows' than were present before we had so much knowledge of evolution. Darwin's thoughts were quite simple, really logical for his day and time and knowledge level. Even neo-Darwinism doesn't fit anymore.
