The Spanish Paseos Por La Naturaleza (A Walk Through Nature) series continues with an exploration of catalytic RNA within the larger context of the RNA world. Pulling together key lines of evidence from molecular biology, this installment builds a linchpin case against the fragile trusses of naturalistic causation.
The Paseos Por La Naturaleza series aims to further strengthen the global influence that the Intelligent Design movement already enjoys and raise awareness of important academic resources that are today challenging orthodox Darwinism and revitalizing the call for a fresh perspective on scientific discourse.
The third installment can be found at:

For an analysis of the Catalytic RNA in english, instead of spanish, there is this article:

Excerpt of their lab work:
Here’s how the paper described their work in the lab to get this meager result:

Or as Dr. Meyer has stated previously:
Biological Information: The Puzzle of Life that Darwinism Hasn’t Solved – Stephen C. Meyer
Thus, as my book Signature in the Cell shows, Joyce’s experiments not only demonstrate that self-replication itself depends upon information-rich molecules, but they also confirm that intelligent design is the only known means by which information arises. http://www.evolutionnews.org//.....e_puz.html

Stephen Meyer Responds to Fletcher in Times Literary Supplement – Jan. 2010
Excerpt: everything we know about RNA catalysts, including those with partial self-copying capacity, shows that the function of these molecules depends upon the precise arrangement of their information-carrying constituents (i.e., their nucleotide bases). Functional RNA catalysts arise only once RNA bases are specifically-arranged into information-rich sequences—that is, function arises after, not before, the information problem has been solved.

I would like to know how an RNA world is even plausible if synthesizing the different chemical constituents (nitrogenous bases, carbon sugars, phosphate backbone, etc.) occurs under different respective conditions.
Needless to say, last year’s big excitement over the the RNA world was a bit misplaced…
