You clearly have no idea what you are suggesting. Miller and Urey thought the same in 1953 and we are no closer today. Cell biologists discover more and more intricate and amazing structures of even the simplist known cells. To assert that we are on the verge of creating life is simply absurd.<BR/><BR/>Regarding abiogenesis Wikipedia Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11556657.post-15588734437620044502008-04-17T11:08:00.000-06:002008-04-17T11:08:00.000-06:00You must be counting the "Great Discoveries" prior...You must be counting the "Great Discoveries" prior to the 19th century.
