Seth Shostak: Just Add Water ... Not Even Wrong In a recent KCBS radio interview about his work for the search for extraterrestrial life, the Center for SETI research Director Seth Shostak repeatedly made claims about the simplicity of life. “Life is just chemistry,” Shostak informed interviewer Jeff Bell. Shostak elaborated that life is merely a collection of big molecules and that “You’re nothing more than that.” This just-add-water view of life is one of the many consequences of evolutionary theory and is so far from science that there is no point in even issuing a rebuttal. It is another example of metaphysics posing as science and making absurd statements with a straight face. Religion drives science, and it matters. http://darwins-god.blogspot.com/2015/08/seth-shostak-just-add-water.html Examine a book. You'll find they are all just pages composed of wood pulp with some marks made of ink that we call letters, numbers, musical notes. Both the pages and ink are composed of chemicals. Therefore literature, religion, poetry, music, science, mathematics are all just chemistry. It's all nothing more than that.
