[ Life: An organization of molecules that consumes energy in order to maintain and replicate its molecular organization. ]

Is the Sun, any Sun... alive?..
Or a black hole? (whatever that is)..
Is life a matter of replication or iteration or cloneing?...
Is life physical?..

[allmendream]

A sun doesn't replicate a sun, nor does it maintain complex order by consuming energy.

A star is a physical reaction of a mass achieving nuclear fusion.

Black holes are just huge gravity sinks of enormous mass.

Life, as it can be defined by science, is physical.

Theologians cannot agree if animals have souls.

If they did not, would there life be merely physical?
