I think the only way a rock -- or any other such matter -- could be considered to have anything even remotely considered to be life would be the forces that imbue that rock at the atomic or sub-atomic level. To my thinking, life implies sentience which is the ability to feel or perceive subjectively. Of course it could also be argued whether or not a single celled creature -- which we do define as possessing life -- can actually feel or perceive subjectively. However, I seriously doubt whether a rock or any other such matter, could be considered to have life as such. I've never known a rock that could feel anything. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
