Renowned Chemist on Origin-of-Life: Put Up Or Shut Up

He gave them 60 days -- they might could replicate it if given a few billion years

Two months ago, Dr. Tour issued a dramatic challenge to 10 prominent OoL researchers.1 Tour said he would take down all his public criticisms of OoL, but only if any one of the 10 leading OoL researchers could convincingly solve just one of five key OoL problems. The first four in need of explanation were (1) the origin of polypeptides (linear organic polymers that are composed of amino acids), (2) the origin of polynucleotides like RNA and DNA, (3) the origin of polysaccharides (necessary as biological energy sources such as glycogen), and (4) the origin of the specified information contained in living things. The fifth and final challenge was for an OoL research team to construct a living cell, assuming that the other four challenges had already been met.

Sounds like another Bully leftist drunk on his superior "intellect".
