        Best not to speculate or attribute on beginning Earth forming
atmosphere without pointing research evidence or citations Bert. As I
have indicated, your Botulism pick is very good but not good enough. The
Halo bacteria is much more tolerant to very high thermal gradients as
well as extreme cold. True both referenced bacteria can live in a none
oxygen environment so atmosphere is not a decisive factor. The ability
to handle the widest extremes of temp is however important for first
life and botulism bacteria fails in that department. While botulism
bacteria is very high temp resistant it cannot match the likes of the
Halo one. 

Thanks for the recipe Bert and under what oven temp and for how much
time should the sweet potato pie be baked? And what about using salt
free butter, will that ruin the taste of your great pie crust or be ok?


     Thanks Bert,
