life: matters arising

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Mon, 10/05/2009 - 11:13am.

Interesting conversation this morning.  Thanks all.  For me (and anyone else interested) to mull further ....

Life seems to us to have some degree of pattern and stability, and the lives of other organisms appear to depend as well as some degree of pattern and stability in themselves and other living things.  Is some kind of pattern and stability the explanation of life or the product of it?  Could our preference for seeing pattern/stability be itself a product of life rather than an inevitability?
