No. Heat, radiation, and lightning are all forms of energy. However, their effect in chemistry, their ability to do chemical work, is dramatically different. In a small temperature range, life as we know it, can thrive. Variations in heat, are tolerabel to differeing degrees to different organisms. However, the formation of the materials that comprise living things from an abiotic source can be quite energetic. Once formed, they can be incorporated into a living thing (example as food). Howver, the same energetic phenomena can destroy these same chemicals, hence killing the organism which is comprised of them. There is also the frequency, duration and spatial distribution of the energies involved. You can have one area where the chemicals are formed and another area where they are safe from disruption. Lighting is specific in time and location, for example.
I just want to take this time to thank you guys for being willing to talk in a civil manner on this subject. Some of your colleauges would be less inclined, but it's refreshing to actually *bounce* ideas off of one another without mud getting attached to what comes back.
Keep thinking!
