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.

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?
