I didn't say it would be easy, but I would think it would be theoretically possible to artificially produce life--assuming there's nothing that a living thing needs that we don't have.

But now that I think about it, what would that really prove? After all, it would be the "artificial" production of life, put together by Minds. We get just the right ingredients together, go through the process, etc. But minds did this, not nature.

In other words, nature had help.

MIND

I am conscious; presumably, you, Crashfrog, are conscious. Therefore, there is mind.

There is the world of indivisible mentality (no atoms) and then there is the physical world: or at least that proposition is arguable.

Re: Goal shift warning

I was afraid of that. I messed up again.
