Hey, why does this inert pen feel "compelled" to fall to the floor when I let go of it?
Why bother consuming energy to create copies of a string of molecules? What is the force that 'forces" this to happen?
The force of gravity. You exactly prove my point. Now explain which force it is that compels reproduction and motivates life. "Nothing happens without a cause" (Newton, Einstein, Feynman, Herschel...)
Your chart about reactance applies to billions of chemical reactions but they do not all constitute life. Only those specific reactions utilizing the 4 amino acids in DNA seem compelled to reporduce and create ever more complex and ever more energy dependnent constellations of reactivity.
BTW: Gravity does not exist in our world as we can perceive it with our own senses. "It" does not "fit" within our current 4 dimensions but it influences matter that does exist in our 4 dimensions. We know of it only because we can see its effect on other items that we can touch and see. Gravity fits the description of a "spirit", it cannot be seen, heard, felt, tasted etc ...it cannot be measured directly. We can only measure the force it applies to things that we can then measure directly.
Yet the pseudo-scientists reject seeing "life" and accepting that some "spirit" could possibly motivate the existence of life while they do accept that gravitional force exists when they can only see its affects on other objects. This bias against life force is simply a bias against the Bible. Had the Bible specifically discussed gravity then we would still this day be arguing against the gravity "spirit" as mere superstition by so many athestic "scientists".
Gravity, as I said, but.... " Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. " --- Einstein
Well... THIS certainly explains it!
