“viruses don’t have intentions…”
you sure? Looks to me like these things know very well what to do … to convert a RNA into a DNA in order to insert into a DNA genome, looks to me, like an intention… these small stupid things somehow figured out how to solve a complex incompatibility problem … so, i can assure you, these things have intentions… or the one who created viruses had intentions…
Still, these small things are smarter than any chemist in the World… as far as i know, you guys still use the original reverse transcriptase enzyme in order to do your experiments… or did change something? have you finally develop your own (artificial) RT enzyme ?
