Thanks, Howard —
>> So far, the "inorganic origins" theory seems to have little empirical
evidence to support it, while the very extensive laboratory work such as that
mentioned by Bob Easterly continues to point to an organic origin. As in all
controversies, "proof" is in the eye of the beholder: last I heard, the Flat
Earth Society was still going strong <<
Good deal… As I've been saying, this is a straw man for me to learn about
something in the back of my mind for a while. But I would like the emphasis to
be on what is actually known/"provable" vs. what people feel most strongly.
Please take a look at the reply to Bob Easterly in this thread.
Thanks dude! – Mike
