The biologist Lynn Margulis explained that all living things from
bacteria on up exhibit goal-directed actions that non-living things
never do. Her simplest example is a bacterium swimming upstream in a
glucose gradient.
No non-living things would ever do that.
What would be the difference in this case between a bacterium and a
stone falling to the Earth?
