What I’m saying is if an ocean is in the Goldilocks zone, the free atoms will form DNA. Isn’t that why they plan to drill Europa to see if life exists in it’s subsurface ocean?

No DNA equals no life.

“DNA does not form organisms” ??

“Organisms carry DNA around as one of their molecular tools for storing information to encode proteins.”

No. We are DNA. The DNA creates cells and unpacks into a organism.

Europa is not in the classical goldilocks zone (something like Venus to Mars).
Europa is warm due to its interactions with it planet.

Free atoms would not be the first thing to form. It would probably be metabolic chemicals (as a product of geochemistry) along with molecules to make membranes.

Soemw ould argue that RNA viruses (with no DNA) are alive.

There are many components of living things besides DNA. They are all needed nut DNA the least (IMHO).

Yes, but all those components were formed from the mitosis of the initial DNA. It formed the human brain.

No. Mitosis is cell division.
You should take a biology class.

Children's clothes should have a "This way front" type print similar to how claymores have "Front towards enemy".

A brisk 3-4 minutes walk occassionally. Not quite like the 10-minute brain reset, but this too Vilpas.

There were rappers who wanted to rebel even more and it wasn't just the cap they wore backwards. They also put their pants on backwards. Only advantage to that is they could do a #2 without taking their pants down.

Realize, some bed sheets have side-underside labels to help the person identify "side" and "head/foot". I do not remember the exact labeling of "head/foot"; I think it was "bottom" but cannot remember.

I was surprised to see there are left- and right- handed socks and shoes. What's the difference?

If you're referring back to the labeling on the bed-sheets, that is for practical reasoning. It helps in quickly identifying which lengths. Easier to just check those labels than to try to compare the floppy lengths directly on the bed sheets.

Yes, I was just reminded of it from your post.

It's amusing that I'm interacting with @fresh_42 on two different forums (PF and civicswatch.com) simultaneously.

Cross-referencing gives funny results if you click on the little arrow in quotations:

Greetings !

I thought about it. You're right LW Sleeth, it is
impossible to produce an absolute argument,
indeed. At first, my assumption was that since
existence itself is absolute - I can connect
absolute arguments with it and show how
it is paradoxical, amongst other things.
However, it is clear to me now that a deeper
contemplation about the necessary validity
of such arguments reveals a lacking of the ability
to prove such absoluteness, with the absoluteness
of existence itself not really being a factor in such
a proof.

BUT, what I'd like to point out is that my argument -
partially because it is so(for now) seemingly
independent from the particular properties of the
Universe and since it is seemingly so short and
basic - produces probably one of the most
powerful arguments ever formalized for anything
at all. Further more, there exists a possibility of
forming multiple other arguments (although, mine
appears to me like the best of which I'm aware
of so far), about the PoE, each of which was also
true throughout the ENTIRE human history including
the present day.

So, it would be necessary for any new claim
that "might" discredit the above explanation,
to also provide an alternative solution to existence
that will solve ALL of the apparent paradoxes,
at once. Otherwise, even discrediting one
apparent explanation/definition is completely
insufficient to cancel out the PoE.

In conclusion, it would appear that it is very
unreasonable, to say the least, not to accept the
PoE, despite it's probabalistic rather than absolute
nature. It appears to be based upon the most
CERTAIN claims in human history. A lot more than
any scientific theory so far.

Live long and prosper.

Whenever I click on "Your content" in the menu, the server says that it checks if I am human. No further investigation, just a break. It feels like the server concluded: "I have checked several of your previous posts. They are so stupid that you have to be human."

Kind of funny that they found in this town, the same person owns both the Spy and the Counter-Spy shops.
