You're going to get a bunch of intelligent design people (fundamentalist Christians) arguing with you that the question is solved. Of course chemists know that these "answers" relating to the intelligence of the original creation only bring up more questions (primarily chemical in nature), but to the nonscientist, this may be very confusing.<br />I say this because you are trying to give chemistry as a field the reputation of answering large questions. This large question gets into some religious issues that could get sticky- not to mention annoying.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340547422474716630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-83035075570529497812011-01-17T05:00:30.966-08:002011-01-17T05:00:30.966-08:00Great point that Sanger was overlooked.
