     Hello?  What's this?  I believe that any organic-based widget which is
"self-replicating" would in fact be called LIFE.  Now if evolutionists have
demonstrated LIFE arising from "conditions resembling the prebiotic earth" it
would indeed be news.  Has Keith chosen net.origins to make a Nobel Prize
quality announcement?
