Care to explain also why this is nonsense? It seems to be a very viable question to the statement you made.
Sorry if this sounds like nonsense to you, but I just don;t see it.
It's not nonsense.
Agobot is confused.
Agobot is nearly always confused.
Agobot is also nearly always convinced that everyone else is speaking nonsense, and that he communicates clearly to the rest of us. He also tends to interpret things that people say in decidedly odd ways, like a few posts ago when he took Percy's summary of the atheist position as Percy's own position, despite the fact that it was clear to the rest of us what Percy was intending to do.
In any given discussion about nonsense where Agobot is involved, it can nearly always be accurately assumed that the nonsense was brought into the discussion by Agobot.
Percy's quote was completely reasonable, and contained no nonsense. The atoms that comprise a bridge are not fundamentally different from those that comprise a living cell, and in both cases those atoms do in fact "constantly move and interact in an organized fashion." This is an accurate portrayal of the Atomic Theory of Matter.
Only Agobot could consider the statement to be "nonsense."

Well now we know the problem. The problem is that you don't understand either of the statements you're complaining about. And it's not a fault in the writing, either.
For the record, I called it: Agobot is confused, as usual.

No they don't. Not in any way remotely similar to the bridge. For starters, here is how the atoms in the molecules of your body are communicating:
Page Not Found - Site Help - Mayo Clinic
...
Cells are communicating, Agobot. Not molecules. The molecules are used to communicate.
A water molecule in the human body is not different in any way from a water molecule in the ocean. It's still 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. The bond holding the molecule together is identical. Their behavior is identical. There is no difference.
An iron atom in your body is no different from an iron atom in a bridge in the same way. There is nothing intrinsically different between then two.
This is how the sensation of touch is transferred between atoms, through electrical signaling. This is offtopic but we are much closer to being an electromagnetic phenomenon, than a body of solid matter, despite the illusion created by your brain.
First you say molecules are communicating, and now you say atoms are communicating, while your source says that cells and organs are communicating.
And then you start your "electromagnetic phenomenon" and illusion gibberish.
Once again Agobot, you're the only one speaking nonsense in this thread. You have absolutely no diea what you're talking about.

This is again offtopic, but some scientists have gone as far as to claim that atoms are conscious. While i don't claim this, i see no way to disprove this either.
Would it be fair to say that, at this point, this thread has jumped the shark?
It's somewhat amusing to see how much nonsense Agobot can spew in a thread whose topic concerns Agobot accusing others of using nonsense arguments, but really, my irony meter is close to the breaking point.
