| An Inevitable Miracle
Many scientists believe that life may have arisen from naturally occuring mineral crystals. Dr. Bernard Yurke of Boise State College of Engineering theorizes that this could have happened at sea. When a seafaring molecule is suddenly ripped apart by a great force, such as that present in a bursting bubble, an opportunity arises for the newly exposed molecular fragments and 'tails' to rebuild and repair themselves. At this moment of restructuring, a mutation could occur which could lead to more complex molecular units, becoming life or providing a basis for life. |
