Um, may I also point out JP that RNA DOES have the ability to self-reproduce. Yup, thats right, it doesn't need anything else to replicate. How do you ask? Well the RNA itself serves as its own polymerase, and can provide all the functions of "specialized" enzymes. True, it is much MUCH slower than if it uses its enzymes, but the fact remains that RNA is capable of replicating itself. So the argument that "DNA did not create life; life created DNA" is incorrect. RNA created life which once specialized enough created DNA. *Sorry about the formatting of my reply, but I can't use HTML for the life of me.*
