# A whole old world. Scientists have created a molecule, the like of which
may have been responsible for the emergence of the living world as we know
it from a quite different realm. In the brouhaha that surrounds all things
DNA-related -- gene therapy, human genome project, DNA computing -- it is
easy to assume that life was ever thus. But for almost twenty years now,
evidence has been slowly accruing that long ago, right here on Earth, RNA,
DNA's simpler & oft-overlooked cousin, may have been king in what has been
dubbed the 'RNA world'. A world where RNA alone encoded the information
that dictates life, decoded it (as it does now) and enacted it as well.

Are created, non-evolving entities incapable of advancing, changing in time?

: Does your Satanic plot successfully bleed major corporations? Have various
demons/spirits/angels aligned themselves with corporate entities as proxies
in their power bouts? Does corporate evil result from demonic possession??

elitism. Purity of heart is thus proven by vileness of conduct, eh?

# Orthodox Christmas celebrated. BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) - Leaders of the
world's 15 Orthodox churches led Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat through
a candlelit Christmas Mass in Bethlehem, the town of Jesus' birth. The
midnight gathering marked an extraordinary bid for unity among the world's
sometimes fractious Eastern Orthodox churches. Arafat, a Muslim, lit a
candle. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563096997-24f
: Why do Xians and Muslims concur in celebrating the killing of a Jew? Can
seeming foes find common ground with a common enemy? Have you thought about
killing Jews lately? Have Jews thought about killing you? Do your ET masters
and/or CIA mindcontrollers pump these ideas into your/their heads? Really?
@ "It is laid upon each Christian worshipper to exalt a man who confessed to
fatigue, who gave way to moods, on occasion wept, who impulsively withered
a fig tree, who founded his church on a pun, who waved away centuries of
Judaic observance, who consorted with publicans & tax collectors & women
of dubious reputation, who kept asking his disciples who they thought he
was, who begged God to relieve him of his coming ordeal, and who on the
cross asked God why he had forsaken him." Hey, whaddya want, consistency?

: What's your favorite holy war? Are holy wars inevitable, oxymoronic, fun?
Are all wars holy to somebody or other? Are all combatants blessed/possessed
by paranormal entities, proxies in divine duels? Are we all pawns of aliens?

@ The Code Zone: WHAT ANCIENT SECRETS ARE ENCODED WITHIN OUR ALPHABET? Is
the Roman/English alphabet, the alphabet we're using right now, a cipher
for decoding information from ancient sources? And is information encoded
within the structure of the alphabet itself? Patterns within the structure
of our alphabet say the answer is "yes": http://www.caus.org/cz010700.htm
: Have you extracted any ancient/alien information from your alphanumeric
system lately? Have you exploited this information to change/rule/ruin the
world? Has your mind expanded to encompass this information? Is it sexy??
