Dov Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 FYI : I am posting this also in another forum, that deals with biological evolution. The Stealthy Life Genesis ------------------------- Sometimes, when you seek the right answer, it helps to pose the right question. Consider the vastly versatile life on planet Earth. Many questions about its mechanisms and evolution have been asked and answered, many of the further questions that evolve continuously about it are tackled by scientists and will most probably be answered within few years, and still many further questions will be raised and answered... However, in order to come closer to answering The Question, The Origin-Nature-Direction of Life, I posit that it would help to ask the question rightly and ask the right question. First it is necessary to seek the question, to consider where within the enormous maze of information it might be searched, then search for it and spot it, and then lead up to it and grab it tightly. Most scientists should or would concur that all the vastly versatile Earth lives that we know as well as those we do not yet know evolved from single self-replicating cell or cells. Most scientists consider the earliest single cell/cells to be the Big Bang of Earth life. Some scientists conjecture that the early cell/cells came into being on Earth, whereas others conjecture that they have arrived on Earth from elsewhere somehow. Still others might conjecture, like I do, that the primary cell or cells were evolutionary products of yet earlier non-celled life, and that chromosomal genes associations, genomes, are products of evolution and cooperation of their individual gene constituents much as their following mono- and poly-cell organisms are products of evolution of their earlier cellular forms. In this scenario the way back initiation of life was not yet in a cellular form but in, probably, a conformation akin to RNA. Now, obviously for scientists concuring with the "cellular big-bang" scenario the right question is difficult to seek and to search and to spot. However, if you accept (remember Pasteur?) the "archaic pre-celled genes" scenario then you can further extrapolate backwards in time and in conditions to the formation-transition of a chemical into a self-replicating base organism. The two elements involved in this primordial occurence would be the presence of the bingo chemical conformation together with its precursors and the stealthily lurking energy balance state. And the right questions in this case would be "is it possible to computer-model such an occurrence?", and "was this just a local solar system accident or is the life phenomenon, the bubble-of-energy, a universally omnipresent energy-directed phenomenon in reverse of the overall universal expansion in a direction of ever dissipating order and energy?". end
