Re: Problems with Murchison extractions...

Rob,

Er... actually I keep telling you that I am not trying to prove a negative.

Er... actually you are. Is it not your contention that adenine cannot form naturally under earthly conditions?

Re: Not arguing a negative...

Rob,

All I know is that there is a biological source that is emperically known.

But that doesn't mean that's the only potential source, so what's your point?

Re: Not arguing a negative...

Rob,

So, what's your point mark?

My point is that having a biological source of adenine doesn't rule out another source.

The point is... that adenine being manufactured in the living machinery doesn't mean there is another source either.

So, I ask again, what's your point? Because the above means nothing as far as this thread is concerned, it doesn't rule out other sources.

If you are trying to make the point that adenine production is impossible outside of living organisms, then you have failed to show it, you are in the position of disproving a negative, as has been pointed out several times.

If you are merely pointing out that adenine production hasn't been observed outside living organisms then I have to ask, so what? It has never been observed to never have occurred, either.
