definition of life itself


Too easy. First, we take the sun. Its nothing more than a chemical engine. Extrapolating,,, life is the same thing except a little more elaborate (although not so grandiose) so one might call it a chemical computer that has sentient capabilities. But we have to be careful because we are applying our pitiful standards that may inadequately define sentient.

A little more elaborate?

I'd say so

Interesting that all these arguments assume no reality exists outside of the bounds of time. I imagine some felt at one time that all light was visible, too. I wonder if we we ever learn differently?
