TPthis is so exciting!!" 4 vats of non-living organic soup". Is there a biotech company that you know off that is doing this so we can all benefit and invest in this new and exciting technology? Maybe Heinz 57 Varieties ? This is so exciting. An organic soup!!! It is true then, all great ideas come from a very simple thought, thanks TP, please keep us posted on the menu ( no pun intended ), I'll be back for dinner time,gg TA -------------------------- Message #953 from TigerPaw at Sep 22 1999 2:00PM TA Evolution is soon to enter an accerlerated phase. This will come about through the greater understanding of DNA and transfering genes and developing whole new genes. Already the entire gene sequence of some organisms has been determined and fed into the computers. An experiment I expect soon is one where the sequence is rebuilt, strand by strand, until from 4 vats of non-living organic soup there comes a living and reproducing organism. I expect that to be a trying moment for those kids in Kansas who won't have a clue as to what happened and why. TP

Is this post all speculation TP? Very interesting if so, I love this stuff. BTW my favorite Nova aired last night - about Einstein and his life, and he appeared to be convinced in the existence of a God... and in some ways it was an impediment of sorts, because he believed God would structure nature in an ordered way. But the quantum physics contradicts that... Einstein's theories fall apart within quantum mechanics.... he spent the last 30+ years of his life trying to unite the molecular level with physical level physics with one formula. Although he could never derive the formula, most physicists today believe one does exist, apparently. What's amazing to me is the simple methods used to prove Einsteins general theory of relativity... I always had so much trouble with that one in school... had they presented it with the explanation of the actual proof... which was the bending of light during a solar eclipse... it would have been much clearer from the start. Edit - I don't remember if it was a solar or lunar eclipse...
