We who thirst for knowledge must all stand on shoulders of others who have obtained some of that knowledge, and where it is rare to find a mighty Giant who stands so tall that we cannot reach its shoulders, we ought to be reverent enough to walk between the legs of that Giant looking always forward into the future for more knowledge. . .

Eddie,
WOW! I like that last statement! That's quotable (shades of Thomas Huxley).
I haven't exactly laid claim to being the FIRST. Rather, I think of myself as being among a small group whose thinking has moved in that direction. Further, as a non-scientist, I have license to a degree of recklessness that scientists are careful to avoid. Understandably, they are loath to leap to broad generalizations before all of the evidence is in.
In my view, the recent discovery regarding the mechanism of protein synthesis provides the "missing link" in the process of abiogenesis that begins with the synthesis of amino acids under early earth conditions demonstrated in the Miller-Urey experiments.
Regards, Raul
