How can chiral molecules arise and reproduce in a racemic mixture?
Well, scientists have now answered on small part of the question. I would hardly conclude that they have solved any part of the question as it has been around quite a while – what they do know however is that life is even more complex than they thought it was. Now the work is to get the answers to the rest. Science simply does not just throw up its hands and say “I don’t know! I give up! That of course is not what I am suggesting at all. It is when such findings (acquired through pains taking work) are all attributed to being part of a blind process. The question is unanswerable!” Science rolls up its sleeves and gets to work finding out the answers. And its success rate is admirable. We know more about abiogenesis than anyone ever thought possible 50 years ago. And the our knowledge is increasing. And what conclusions does science extrapolate from such findings to tell us as to have definitely been the case? That the process leading up to the formation of life requires no intelligence
