   I saw an interesting article concerning efforts to design artificial life. We'll see if this optimistic prediction of success within the next decade is accurate. These efforts could shed a lot of light on the possible origins of life on earth.

   Why is the Design Matrix off the blog roll?

   Nevermind, I see it now.

   From Aagcobb's article:
   

   Szostak is also optimistic about the next step - getting nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, to form a working genetic system.

   His idea is that once the container is made, if scientists add nucleotides in the right proportions, then Darwinian evolution could simply take over.

   LOL!
