<< Tom, as I have said several times, and as several other people have
said, it doesn't even make sense to TALK about "selection" of
entities that do not reproduce >>

Well I'm making up a new term called 'zorchtok'
It happens to be a verb, noun, adjetive, etc.

Zorchtok means that what chemicals that play a part in prebiotic chemistry, and
surivive the environment were likely to continue to be active chemicals in
prebiotic chemistry,
and that those that were altered
in a way that made them inactive would not continue to play a part in prebiotic
chemistry.

Now, whenever I incorrectly say selection (or chemical selection) please
translate as zorchtok the correct term.
