    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Catch!

Isn't it both? The same could technically be said about a lot of things, in that sense.

That's kind of a "chicken and the egg" thing, though. Consider: does all life contain organic stuff, or do we call the stuff all life shares organic?

Ignore.

Yes, that's true. Although there's no real way to interpret some details! I'm pretty sure no-one can answer the question you just posed factually, although I suppose you could with opinion. In any case, aren't there organic components in non-living things, anyway? What about methane?

EDIT: Wargle, we can talk about the Zweilous!

Organic molecules in non-organic things don't prove or disprove either side of the question. And there is at least one way to resolve the question: if we encounter, say, alien life which has a different biochemistry from anything that exists on earth, the question would be answered depending on whether or not people referred to said aliens as alive.

You're right, I suppose. I guess we'll just have to wait? In any case, I can't imagine it looking too different than our build-up; rock creatures or whatever just don't seem viable.

Not anything that could survive in an Earthlike environment, sure. It's not inconceivable that something that lived in a much more hostile environment could superficially resemble rock, though.

I suppose that makes sense, but even if it resembles rock, is it even possible for anything not to be carbon-based? I know it's plausible, but it just... I guess I can't grasp it.

Theoretically. It's not altogether likely, carbon being the most useful chemical thingy for life from what I recall, but the archetypal "silicon-based life" could probably exist assuming its planet was roughly equivalent in temperature to molten glass.
