Oh yeah, did we discuss the origin of life? I thought I mentioned how experiments failed, and then you guys just kind of gave up on that one.

edit: That link you gave was pretty much what I've already caught up on, except trying to go to the third page gave me an error, so I didn't see what I assumed would be the the conclusion about life being able to start on its own.

But then I can guess the article is going to conclude with the observation that thermodynamics permits some of the materials of life to be made. In which case we'll be right back where we started.
