Quote from Ricter:

You have even less background in this than I do. Scientists agree that prions are not alive. They debate whether viruses are alive. I do not want to create controversy, it already exists.

Originally, my point could have been helpful to your general argument, since the very fine distinction between one type of molecule, and another, where one is considered mere chemical, and the other "alive", points to the possibility of "life from non-life". But, now you have your pride involved.

Some people have to fit all reality neatly into a grid. Best stick to your calculator.

Now you're just being silly.

Science and scientists have no problem making definitive distinction between living and non-living things. As I've said, biology is the study of living organisms, not the study of non-living ones. Viruses and prions fit directly into that category for good reason.

Anyone can debate philosophically whether they consider something is living or non-living. However you're not even doing that, but rather seem to prefer to be confused about dividing lines that science has no trouble in drawing.

I don't agree your point might be helpful to my argument at all. I don't think it even helps itself.
Unless you meant to suggest that amino acid forms from inorganic matter , so life from non-life is probable. But somehow I don't think you did.

You were singled out as the lone exception to the extension of the Bush tax cuts?

Well, one of the many exceptions. Unemployed people don't get tax cuts.
