What you do not understand is that our bodies, and those of higher organisms have a dual nature. On one hand they are run by proteins, on another hand they have a nervous system and a brain that runs on electrical impulses. -me-

Your argument sounds like materialism to me. Here is a dictionary definition of materialism:

a theory that physical matter is the only or fundamental reality

No. Symbols are totally immaterial and without the non-material correlation of one thing with another life would be totally impossible. DNA itself is a symbol. It is an abstract language which is read in threes by DNA and interpreted as amino acids. Symbols are a sign of intelligence and a total disproof of materialism.

Interesting I missed this during the war. I notice someone understated something. All chemical reactions are concentration-dependent.
