Kent,-Sorry for not participating so much in this conversation, I'm still catching up as I recuperate from surgery. -Add to your reading list the book "Origins" by Robert Shapiro. He's the scientist I talked to you about that was primarily engaged in origin of life research. He has some new ideas concerning origins, but by and large the landscape of the endeavor is so unchanged from that book was first printed (in '88) that many of his criticisms still stand. He details the history of the field and offers several of what he considers good avenues. -It's been out of print for some time, but I managed to find a copy at a bookstore. -It forces you to fully come to terms with the reality of how bleak the state of the science is.

\"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.\"
