It's not a factual learning place of what we've been tought. Cycles and cycles within cycles and times within times...Waves and shore life...i.e. reaping and sowing..Projecting and materializing self to what is put out. It's simple actually, psychologist's teach the same thing but in different terms. Churches teach it as repenting to god...and but WITH stong faith. Wiccans teach it with intentions. Birthday children are taugh it with Birthday Wishes.

You have computer viruses that have built in anti-virus programming that will attack other virus that infect your computer. You have some that when attempting to delete the will duplicate and write their code to try and prevent further deletion, this is in direct response to a threat.

So how is a computer virus different from a cell?
Here's an analogy. My heart is a human heart. It is not a human. Even if there were floating sentient heart beings, my heat would still not be human.

Lets look at a cell in the same list.
Homeostasis: No
Organization: No
Metabolism: Yes
Growth: Not really
Adaptation: No
Response to stimuli: Yes and No
Reproduction: Yes

A computer virus doesn't fit the definition of life. A cell is living but it is not an organism.Here's an analogy. My heart is a human heart. It is not a human. Even if there were floating sentient heart beings, my heat would still not be human.
Well I'm off to bed, if you respond I will read it in the morning.
