certain chemicles mixed and made the most simple life, a brown ooze. some guy found it and found out that he had created life so he published it.

I think Black rose is talking about Miller\'s experiments in the 1950\'s.  It wasn\'t quite simple life, it was the ingredients thereof--amino acids and certain carbohydrates.  I don\'t know the details, but I bet Google could tell you something with Miller and amino acids...

I was refering to Karyuu\'s sub thread, which was interesting.

Keep asking questions.  Read today\'s slashdot.org.  It\'s very inspiring.

I heard about those experiments in a lab in middle school. He used instruments to simulate Earth\'s early atmosphere(C02 and etc) and lightning. Apparently he was resulted with aminos needed to make some proteins. But he didn\'t have all proteins necessary for life. Just a few bricks out of a skyscraper.
