Ken,
What is the name of the journal you are referring to?

I'd have to go back into my dusty files, but I think there is a research journal titled Origin of Life and I seem to remember (last time I reviewed the literature on this subject) at least one other journal that was entirely concerned with these OOL issues. I'll see if I can lay hands on my old manuscript when I go to campus tomorrow.

Ken-

Sorry for the off-topic response. I joined the thread after the original query had been truncated away.

But, my main point is to strictly avoid ?angels-dancing-on-heads-of-pins? scholastic disputations if you seek a scientific resolution to a question.
Unless it?s falsifiable by observation or experiment, an assertion ain?t science.

Does this apply to the origin of life?
 
Charlene




Yes, I'd say it does. Origin of life hypotheses are falsifiable by observation and experiment. There's at least one entire journal devoted specifically to that.
