Kat: I mean I basically grew new life but if you want to simplify it that way sure

For comparison purposes, a page from a different comic.  |

Of course there is a scientific explanation for life. Essentialy is self-replicating molecules, it is just physic and chemistry in the end. and scientists can understand how it works, that is how you get things like genetic and cloning and ... uh.. . nanomachines, I guess? Anyway, my point is, life is not 'magic' (except in the Pratchett's sense of "It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works.") Reynard, Coyote and others like them OTOH make no sense. Reynard is a puppet that move, talk and can turn into a wolf.Where does he get his energy? Wheere do he keep his brain? WHERE DOES THE HELL GET (and where it goes) THE EXTRA MASS? That's cheating, I tell you. CHEATING! Really, i understand why the Court would be pissed. You can mix all the chemicals you like together but you don't get life. Did you know that all life on earth is descended from one single monocellular organism? www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2018/01/31/581874421/be-humbled-our-oldest-ancestors-were-single-celled-organismsAnd all those, would have descended from just one single cell. So basically....that one spark of life, into one single cell, has led us all the way here. And yet we still have *no* scientific explanation for how that works. No true scientific explanation for life or consciousness. A lot of guesses, yes. You can't just handwave that as "physics and chemistry". Nailed it. Call me when we've created cells that produce and use right handed amino acids. I'll wait. |

You're going to have to find a source of right-handed chiral glycine from the dawn of the Universe. |
