1THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORIGIN OF LIFE 1 Citation New findings map out the chemical reactions that could have formed molecules of RNA , a close cousin of DNA, from the basic materials available more than 3.85 billion years ago, researchers report online May 13 in Nature ., technorati.com

Origin of life: building an RNA world from simple chemicals 1 Citation Studying the origin of life is a real challenge. Any actual evidence of the specific chemicals involved has long since been destroyed, leaving researchers with a big gap to bridge between the chemistry of the early earth and the molecules that appear to be fundamental to life itself. Recent years have seen a number of discoveries about DNA's close chemical relative, RNA, that suggest it played a key role in early protolife, leading to a proposal that life started out in an RNA world.

Neandertals Sophisticated And Fearless Hunters, New Analysis Shows 1 Citation SOURCE ScienceDaily (May 14, 2009) ? Neandertals, the 'stupid' cousins of modern humans were capable of capturing the most impressive animals. This indicates that Neandertals were anything but dim. Dutch researcher Gerrit Dusseldorp analysed their daily forays for food to gain insights into the complex behaviour of the Neandertal. His analysis revealed that the hunting was very knowledge intensive. Although it is now clear that Neandertals were hunters and not scavengers, their exac, technorati.com

1 Citation Of all the scientific mysteries, this is probably the greatest one of all ? how did life on Earth begin? We are not talking about how it evolved into the diversity of lifeforms we see today. We are talking about how it originated in the first place. For all his immense insight into evolution, Charles Darwin himself was stumped. He suggested that whatever the mechanism was that had led to the first replicating lifeforms, it most probably arose in some ?warm little pond?, a primordial, technorati.com

1 Citation Scientists may have discovered traces of the eldest ancestors of contemporary animals: spongy goo fossilized in stone. The previous oldest animal fossils date from "only" 650 million years ago, although " molecular clocks " based on rates of genetic divergence indicate that animals should have originated about 850 million years ago. The new findings may therefore help solve the problem of the 250 million-year-gap. Palaeontologists have looked long and hard for traces left by the first multi-, technorati.com

Method Of Repairing Cadiz?s Walls Has Hardly Changed Since The 17th Century 1 Citation SOURCE ScienceDaily (May 11, 2009) ? In the year 1596, a sacking at the hands of the Count of Essex almost destroyed the city of Cadiz. Since then, authorities have focused their efforts on establishing a barrier between the city and the sea, a reconstruction task which has accompanied the inhabitants of Cadiz throughout the last 400 years. The problems that Philip II encountered in halting marine erosion are similar to those that exist today, as well as the solutions. This research p, technorati.com

Message Theory ? A Testable ID Alternative to Darwinism ? Part 4 1 Citation The unity of life ? Remember that famous slogan, ?Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.? It was actually the title of a 1973 paper by evolutionary geneticist, Theodosius Dobzhansky , where he claims the profound unity of life at the biochemical level is compelling evidence for evolution. He got the situation exactly backwards. It is potent evidence for Message Theory, and against evolution. * First the data. Life is unified by an abundance of complex biochemi, technorati.com

The Survival of the Fittest... Molecule 1 Citation by Alexandre Couto de Andrade A fter Charles Darwin 's ? On the Origin of Species ? was published in 1859, the way in which we human beings see ourselves has changed dramatically. Like Copernicus and Galileo before him, and like Freud (in spite of his pseudoscientific theories) and Einstein some decades later, Darwin started a scientific revolution. When it comes to answering the ?big questions? of life and existence, few scientific theories or discoveries whe, technorati.com

Podcast in the intelligent design controversy: Origin of life: Continuing failure of theories 1 Citation At http://www.idthefuture.com/ , sponsored by the Discovery Institute *: The New Spontaneous Generationists Click here to listen. On this episode of ID the Future, Anika Smith interviews writer Robert Deyes on The New Spontaneous Generationists, who argue that "matter and energy somehow self-originated into complex forms without outside intelligence." While we may have moved beyond expecting rats to materialize from garbage heaps and maggots from decaying meat, materialists today are tryi, technorati.com

Comets carry the life of the solar system 1 Citation The opening made by NASA experts in data processing comet mission Stardust, was yet another confirmation Comet theory of origin of life on Earth. Analysis of samples of comet material collected by the probe StarDust when passing near the nucleus comet Wild 2 in 2004 and brought to Earth in the lander 15 January 2006, has led scientists to the discovery of organic matter, the possibility of existence outside the Earth which has not previously anticipated. Comets, composed of dust and ice, and, technorati.com
