			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7598996.stm">this Q&amp;A page about the LHC</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Q: Can bacteria survive?</p>
<p>Would it be possible to put various simple bacteria into the experiment to see if they survive. We are relatively certain that plant RNA probably evolved during the Big Bang.</p>
<p>Animal DNA on the other hand could not and possibly came from meteorites carrying bacteria from other worlds (Panspermia theory). It would put this idea to bed if it couldn&#8217;t survive the Big Bang. (Mick)</p></blockquote>
<p>So, what does Mick think the Big Bang is, that it was when &#8220;plant RNA probably evolved&#8221;, whereas &#8220;animal DNA could not&#8221;? (Whatever ever he means by <em>plant RNA</em> and <em>animal DNA</em>, of course, since RNA and DNA aren&#8217;t partitioned across nature like that anyway.) </p>
<p>And who is this <em>we</em> who are &#8220;relatively certain&#8221; about this?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m disappointed that the answer to this alleged question wasn&#8217;t just &#8220;Eh?&#8221;</p>
