Ok here is a possible definition of life. 1 - shape 2 - energy processing 3 - information processing 4 - reproduction As long as an organism fulfills these criteria, can it be considered a life form ? Does it matter how these criteria are implemented, as long as they exist. Consequently, does it matter how an organism came into existence as long as it exists ?

To add another one now would only seem to muddy the waters!!! :Nicholas
