"Leslie Orgel is one of the foremost origin of life scientists today. He contributed a chapter, “The Origin of Biological Information” to the book, Life’s Origin.
His chapter explains nothing about what one would expect after reading the title,
but what he says about the materials needed to produce cells is very revealing.
Orgel says organic chemists should have invented the computer scientist’s motto, “Garbage in, garbage out,” because if they have garbage rather than a pure compound going into an experiment, garbage is what will come out."
Thomas F. Heinze
