Hi everyone. First posting so go easy on me!!!
Computers can compute, and our bodies can make chemical reactions. The difference between us is that we can procreate; a computer can't make a baby computer.
Although it is true that all things, including life, can be reduced down to the simple molecular mechanisms, only life can grow, adapt and reproduce. So there is still a fairly massive gulf between living organisms and non-living matter.

Confused
I'm sorry, I don't think I know exactly what you mean. Could you explain your viewpoint and why you feel that way?

In saying that there is still a large gap between living and non-living matter, I was trying to neutralise the arguement that if living matter and non-living matter are all made of the same stuff, then the issue of the latter transforming into former is of little consequence.
I disagree with this and feel that the fact that there are things like viruses that are in the middle of a very large void does not prove that organisms can go from one side to the other.
P.S. I am not religious, but I am curious as to what point were you hoping to make with the quote?
