Hi Hal,  

Just look at the metaphors you use to see that your idea below is wrong.  
You say that life hastens death.  

Of course it does - all day every day in . Animals are parasitic on 
photosynthesis and frequently each other as well as the energy hang-up 
barriers they must bust.

Hi Hal Ruhl  

The most important feature of a theory is that it is
worthless unless you can communicate it to the world.

Maybe I'm wrong. I can't understand your theory, 
perhaps others can.

Hi Roger: 


Roger: Talk to Dawkins. The purpose of the gene is to create more genes. So 
the purpose of life (at a minimum) is to create more life. 

 Response from Hal: No. Life creates more life in compliance with pAP1. 
A reasonable result is one heck of a mass extinction. Repeat until there are 
no more operative energy hang-up barriers.  


Roger: You may notice that earth was once lifeless but its surface become 
alive with plants, fishes...  

SNIP 

 Response from Hal: You help make my point.  

Hal

Hi Roger:

I try to practice reasonable bandwidth conservation. Your comment You say
life hastens death. which is in my response seemed sufficient for the
discussion. If you need something from one of your prior posts and you do
not have it just cut and paste it from the Google archive.
