I am interested in any thoughts you have on the Chemosynthetic Origins of Nucleoside Deoxyribosyltransferase (NDRT), you can take the usual copout and just say Allah, Jehovah, Zeus, or Zoroaster did it, but - Congress Shall Make No Law Respecting an Establishment of 1.Religion, or Prohibiting the Free Exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of 2.Speech, or of the 3.Press, or the right of the people peaceably to 4.Assemble, and to 5.Petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Not only am I protected under the very first amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but have a gander at the Illinois State Constitution, Article One, Section Three. Religious Freedom. I do not expect you to have all the answers, just point me in the right direction to locate the answers I seek. -beckerm3@yahoo.com

It's hardly arguable that there is a chemical origin and causation to the DNA transfer process. That's basic biology. Nor is there any argument regarding the fact that DNA can be altered over time. Centuries of breeding programs and racial integration have proven that. Nor is there any real doubt that the process continues absent external prompting, through natural breeding.

The ultimate question of whether the chemosynthesis was an accidental by-product of environmental and electro-chemical conditions, or whether it was part of a divine science experiment, can only be resolved if there is objective measurement or observation of that original process instantiation. And absent sufficient witnesses, there is no way to accurately determine that. So, we're left with presumptions.

Those presumptions vary by faith. And as you pointed out, both the US Constitution and the constitutions of many states forbid government mandates regarding faith.

Which is why science usually teaches the how of the current process, and (ideally) doesn't make absolute assertions regarding how the process was originally started.
