		<description>This has significant implications as to the very definition of life, of organic matter vs so-called inorganic matter...
ancient wisdom (American Indian, Tibetan,amongst others) always had it right. In the &lt;strong&gt;Book of Dzyan &lt;/strong&gt;it is said:

&lt;em&gt;From the bosom of the stone is vegetation born....&lt;/em&gt;

All right, the article is about gold being made by bacteria...but the wonderful transmutation from a live organic source to a supposedly inert material...underlines how truly full of life and intelligence rocks are...capable then of hosting bacteria and interacting in the origin of vegetation.</description>
