Re: [Mind's Eye] I wrote a post on "Why science can’t define LIFE".

Science in what scope is the key to this argument I think. We may
someday see the rise of our scientific prowess providing a pivotal
turningpoint in the fundamental nature of life in this universe.
Science or something like it may in fact be a fundamental tool of
evolution to the point where organisms and science become inseparable.
At this point we are understanding that if we wish for the lifeforms
we know to continue to exist science is the most effective and
probably only tool at our disposal to prevent the inevitable.

The science I see is organic arising from rich diversity to meet the
challenge of understanding the universe and how it works. In this I
don't see a clear distinction between man and science but coevolution
and adaptation much as the cognitive capacity for language and
perception which preceded. That is our story (as I see it), there may
be others as well, perhaps that to progress synthesized through our
science is tied with the laws of this universe that organisms evolve
toward at their advantage perhaps there are species of life billions
of years older whose cognition spans many human lifespans- we may not
even see it in front of us due to our limited perceptions of time.
This could be happening at this very moment right here under our
noses, another layer of abstraction leading to the rise of yet greater
forms of life to which modern man will seem an insect. Hmm.. :)
