Default Re: Life: A definition

[ QUOTE ]
I think the definitions of 'life' and 'non life' are mostly useless; consider that all matter is made fundamentally of energy... all things are composed of the same material there is nothing unique about 'life' as opposed to 'non life'. I'm not saying you can't make some arbitrary defintion if you want... it just doesn't matter.

Really? Do you even know what you are stating? I don't think you do.

Life on Mars

Model Methanogens

That Meterorite

-Zeno

What do your links have to do with what he said? I agree that living/not living will be a somewhat useless concept in the future. It is similar to how when you are a kid they teach you about the states of matter(solid, liquid, gas) but when you get older you see that many things don't belong to any of these categories.
