Weren't there ceremony girls before Bree?

Why do they need all these girls?
Is one enough?

If the religion has been around for a while (which I'm assuming it has been), there had been other girls. With the same traits.

If the ceremony has to do with cloning/blood/ribozymes/etc. wouldn't they be satisfied with one girl? Why so many?

Thoughts?

Maybe they haven't been able to get it right until now? Or they are hoping they can get it right this time. Science might not have been as far as it need to be before for the other ceremony girls to work, or completely work.

I'm sorry I'm a total newbie at the forum, however here is a link to essentially the same image as in Bree's Dad's notebook. (sorry for not being able to quote the image from the earlier post, hopefully someone else can do that for me?)
http://www.aist.go.jp/aist_e/latest_research/2002/20020808/20020808.html
(despite the .jp ending, it is in english, not japanese, and how thrilled are they to get 500,000 hits tomorrow? ).

How did I find this: google ribozyme reaction. How did I know to look for this: just got a C in intro to biochemistry and recognized the ribose structure (n+1 is just saying whatever purine/pyrimidine base it is, just means the structure that determines the specific code--which means the drawing is not anything specific, just a general idea of what ribozymes do) and saw the double-arrows which indicates a REVERSIBLE reaction. (Which means, that under certain circumstances it goes from right to left, under other conditions it goes left to right).

So dad's notes on this were just about ribozymes and how they function. I think we should look closer at the collage and graphs (when we get them from taylor --nudge nudge).

Hey y'all, if you head over to LG15 Today meepers_anonymous has done some amazing research on what was in the notebook!

Here's the image she found:


Looks a hell of a lot like that screenshot we have! It's called Hairpin Ribozyme Transesterification.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

Okay, so the sketch seems to have been identified at the hairpin roboszyme:





I've never heard of this...obviously...

but wikipedia has:

Meepers_Anonymous is so smart!

I am horrible at science, so all of this stuff is practically Greek to me, but I have to say- this a much more interesting context then some textbook.

The cloning theory (whatever version you want to accept) is looking more and more likely.

And I'm thinking there is most definitely some sort of code in the letter Bree's dad left her, but we probably need the entire thing to find it.

Am I the only one who's heart broke a little at the sight of the collage she made him? Or am I just a big ole softy?

I need to go to bed. I know I'll sign on in the morning to find, like, 200 pages, but so be it.
