I was thinking about this idea this morning. Studying atoms in order to understand life is like studying bricks to understand houses when what is of deeper significance is who built the house.

Studying DNA seems, to me, a more compelling subject and of greater purpose.

cf The cosmic Serpent, DNA and the origins of knowledge.

The bricks are made from atoms, as is the brick maker. Am I missing the point?

xoxoxoBruce 10-13-2012 03:25 AM

Yes you are. You need eves with those atoms to get enough to finish the house.
