Interesting topic...I often myself have wondered what defines life.
I am beginning to think that life is a emergent property of matter.
And conciousness a emergent property of Energy/matter. Strange thought I know. *edit (Interesting) mispelling

Re: an important disagreement
Hi sidelined, your quote: "Is consciousness something greater or is it an inherent property of matter under the proper impetus of these basic forces:" This is something I have thought about alot.
I wonder sometimes what is the point of all this? ie:the universe. Of course there does not have to be a point, it can simply just be.I guess I am guilty of grasping on to anything that will keep me out of the pit of nilhism. lol. Somehow through natural processes matter became sentient. Is the ultimate manifestation of energy conciousness? Or is this a feeble attempt to anthropomorphsize reality itself and give a reason for being?
Sounds crazy. Sorry for butting in. *edit typo
