|Cairns-Smith's ideas are very imaginative, but are supported by almost
|no evidence.  In particular, no one has ever demonstrated that clays
|-- or any other crystals -- can propagate genetic information.  The
|fact that such speculations are taken seriously shows how blocked the
|field has become.

Have you read the more recent symposia on the clay-life hypthesis?
There is more evidence that you might think.  I was fairly impressed by
some of the studies done since "Seven Clues ..." was published (that is
why I characterized it as out of date).
