That is where the fallacy of quantizing the continuum killed the investigation - and, as far as I'm concerned, all such investigations. Thus I now consider all theories of abiogenesis trash - there can be no such theory if science refuses to accept a clear definition of life, non-life and death.

Works for me. I have no need for strict and unambiguous delineation of such things. Discarding them will make the discussion more rigorous and better grounded in physical reality.

Thank you for your reply, tortoise!

Perhaps it will cause the discussion of abiogenesis to be more rigorous among those who wish to tackle a theory without boundaries, as you suggest. However, I predict more Heat than Light will be the result.
