Re: [asa] Scientists urge evolution lessons

Janice,

I suspect that the difference depends on the "spin" used by the headline
writer.
How about dealing with the /actual document/ that the reporter is
discussing?
The ASA web site has a considerable amount of material on the "origin
of life" <http://www.asa3.org/ASA/topics/Origin%20of%20Life/index.html>
that
you might want to look at.
In any case I'll put off your question [ What does hard science
(biological evolution)
<http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1652400/posts> have to do with
the *origin* of life on earth?] a bit longer before
responding. After all, What does a retired physical chemist know?
