Looks okay to me
Excuse me for asking such a simple question. Maybe you intended only to address scientists. If not, then now that we're at something shorter to begin with, I don't mind listening.
Do nucleotides really come down in rain? It rains RNA?
I'm understanding you to say that nucleotides were randomly sorted in cirrus clouds due to ionization, and then those randomly sorted nucleotides rained down to earth, where some of them became functional. This provided several, or perhaps many, "starts" to life, rather than just one, and that is why RNA sequences in certain phyla seem very unrelated between the phyla, but much more related within the phyla.
Am I understanding that correctly? And if so, to repeat myself, are you saying that RNA used to come down in rain, way back in the Pre-Cambrian period, or that it still happens now.
Thanks.
