Here is a nasty, gratuitous and tongue in cheek swipe at Darwinianism.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A Peculiar Silicate-Associated Phenomenon[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Research into the causes and nature of evolutionary processes, and the probable volatile origins of life on earth, have been accumulating for many years without sufficient direct and broad evidence, linking the Darwinian paradigm to the concept of life origins. Data, since 2001, from field and laboratory studies of material collected from Frenchmans Mountain, in Southern Nevada, may be yielding such direct evidence. While the present research is novel, it is based in a much longer history of unexplained and (we suggest) misunderstood phenomena, ranging from scholarly studies, to much older arcane reports. The investigators have applied lasers, via trade-secret protected optics, on material such as clear quartz, natural silicate-containing minerals, and upon the silicate-clay, Montmorillonite. [There has been a recent resurgence of attention toward Montmorillonite, for its ability to promote the formation of RNA an integral component to DNA-based life.] When such silicate-bearing material was concurrently exposed to saline and a small electrical charge, a peculiar, well structured and reproduced, ionized gas phenomenon was promoted. Preliminary studies have shown that organized material, emitted from this locality of this phenomenon, can have a direct effect upon the genomes of nearby microorganisms. While they are open to the suggestions and observations of those in academia and the scientific community, the principal investigators will advance an argument that the phenomenon may imply a novel genome shuffling mechanism. If confirmed and found to be promoted by natural processes, such a mechanism could provide new support for theories involving life origins via self-organizing systems.[/SIZE][/FONT]
