Re: Instantaneous
So what your saying is that because you think the concept of life is an arbitrary human conception to facilitate human communication, life therefore does not really exist?
If you really think this is what this sentence means why are you on a science debate forum?
When does hot become cold?

Re: Instantaneous
Is living and non-living subjective? Because if it is then I guess all things are subjective.
205 post in a you may be close to getting it. As we cannot point to the dividing line between life and non-life; yes it is subjective.
Only mathmaticians and the faithful deal in absolutes.

Re: Physical life is - non-existent - mechanisms only
Your point is lost on me.
Can you re phrase what you are trying to say?

Re: Physical life is - non-existent - mechanisms only
My point was (ironically) that your method of comunication does not do a very good job of conveying your point.
Now that I understand what you are trying to say I would agree that biological organisms are very simliar yet not identical to machines.
