Not unless you're a vitalist. If you're not a vitalist, you're capable of viewing life as a self-replicating system of coupled non-linear chemical reactions within some sort of mass/energy balance control volume, and subject to selection effects due to differential success in replication. Capsicum? ...]

No, no, three times no. The separation that I mean is the contrived separation made by those who made the separation. You might want to re-read my post.

When I told you--in my hello intro--that I spent 2 years informally debating these things on the "fairytale" website, I wasn't whistling dixxie.

Nobody gives a shit what you spent years of your life informally debating unless you have access to anything you've learned from it. Prebiotic chemical evolution has similarities and differences with biological evolution. You know the interstellar medium is full of clouds of gas and dust laden with copious amounts of complex organic chemistry, about which you have revealed you know precisely diddly-squat. You're not really whistling at all, here. It's more like the raspy sound of a wet fart. Extemporaneously delivered, of course.

You have to be kidding me.

Oh, come on, scherado. The word you're dying to write doesn't appear in that post. Do you believe it's a bad word? Don't just subvocalize it. Express it proudly, the same way you write 'soul'.

Uhhhh. the word DOES appear in the post!!!

But you know what I mean. If you can't bring yourself to write "shit", then I guess you can't.
