Left-Handed Amino Acids and Evolutionary Fact Twisting
People with a rudimentary understanding of biology should know that amino acids have both right- and left-handed forms. For amino acids to be useful, they must be intolerant: Amino acids are left-handed only, one right-handed protein wrecks the chain, so why don't you right-handed thingies try down the street at the nucleotide shop and see if they want your kind? The same-handedness rule makes the concept of even one DNA molecule arising by chance so tiny, it is impossible . A press release from NASA regarding amino acids in a meteorite was treated with the usual enthusiasm by the evolutionist crowd. That is, the information was plugged into their preconceptions, praised as further evidence of evolution — but not carefully examined. Yet again, they embarrassed themselves. A new suggestion of how life ended up with left-handed amino acids comes up short. A NASA Goddard press release reported that amino acids found in the Tagish Lake meteorite (British Columbia, 2000) sh
