The latest hype from scientific materialists--following "Ida" ("Sweet as apple-cidah," as Eddie Cantor sang it)--is that we now understand, yet again, how life arranged itself from a few chemical elements. George Gilder comments from The Gilder Report today:
Friday Blogger Bonus / The Issue Has Never Been Chemistry

Gilder Telecosm Forum Member: "Scientists may have figured out the
chemistry that sparked the beginning of life on Earth. Until now,
scientists couldn't figure out the chemical reactions that created the
earliest RNA molecules."

George Gilder, Gilder Telecosm Forum: The issue has never been chemistry,
but information. The chemistry of the carrier doesn't matter as long as it
is robust and reproducible. You need a low entropy (predictable) carrier
to bear complex high entropy information. Computers, for example, can be
made of matchsticks, beach sand or Lego blocks, among other things, but
these substances cannot make or program a computer. You need a recipe to
produce a pudding, but a pudding cannot write a recipe. The low entropy
carrier does not generate the information that creates it. It takes a mind
to produce information.
