How do you define life, used in the context of yoiur statement above, from non-life?

How would you define "human"?

You are lawyering. Both evolution and biology in general have trouble defining "life" in the abstract. And the problem is precisely because the definitions, at the extremes, are arbitrary.

Lawyering? Is that like using logic and intellect?
