The living relationship, the one we need for living things, is using a series of bases taking 3 at a time to line up a series of amino acid R groups. Those groups can be acids but they can also be base! Single ring, double ring, short chain, long chain, with or without sulfur — they can be almost anything chemically. The point is this — there is no natural tendency for a series of bases to line up a series of R groups. That relationship has to be imposed from the outside. At this fundamental level, then, we have evidence that life on earth is a product of special creation.
The relationships need not be imposed from outside as again it is the atomic level at which the rules of physics define the relationships that chemistry imposes upon the biological.The error here is assuming that the
fundemental processes occur at the level of "living" things. Again there is bias on the part of people to consider the word life has a basis in reality that arises somehow magically seperate from the atoms that make it up.This is not clearly shown to be so and if we do not have a clear picture of what life is then why are we arguing for it.
"We cannot define anything precisely! If we attempt to, we get into that paralysis of thought that comes to philosophers, who sit opposite each other, one saying to the other, 'You don't know what you are talking about!' The second one says 'What do you mean by know? What do you mean by talking? What do you mean by you?', and so on."
