Possibly another problem solved for the RNA world.

[rjw]

Science is a problem solving process. In this case, the problem to be solved is one dealing with a natural origin of life, specifically the RNA world hypothesis.

This is interesting:-



A cross-chiral RNA polymerase ribozyme



The reason why it is important is explained here:-

Origins of life: RNA made in its own mirror image



Unfortunately the explanatory article is behind a pay-wall. However, if you can access the article, then you find out why the discovery is significant:-



“Some 30 years ago, a conundrum arose concerning how RNA molecules first proliferated through prebiotic chemical reactions. This was because of the demonstration by Joyce et al.3 that the non-enzymatic copying of an RNA template to form a complementary RNA strand could be brought to a screeching halt by the incorporation into the growing polymer of monomers of opposite handedness to the template. This phenomenon was termed 'enantiomeric cross-inhibition'. Given that both D- and L-enantiomers of RNA molecules were probably present as substrates on prebiotic Earth, how could template-directed polymerization have proceeded? Sczepanski and Joyce now revisit this issue by creating a ribozyme that not only catalyses template-directed polymerization in the presence of both D- and L-enantiomers, but actually prefers mononucleotides and oligonucleotides of the opposite handedness to itself as its substrates.”

You always find that creation "science" offers nothing like this kind of thing.

You always find that creation "science" offers nothing like this kind of thing.

That's because it doesn't need to, all creation "science" has to do is tell lies, make promises and maintain creationism.
We need only look at the "Creation Museum", the whole world laughs at it but not the creationists, why?

Creationists do not want facts all they want is the truth as they want it to be, creation "science" decides what's true and then the creation "scientists" tell the other creationists lies about how it all happened, the whole idea is not to make creationists think for themselves because if they found it hard they just wouldn't do it, make it easy and they will go along, make it hard and they will go elsewhere and take their money with them.
