I deliberated on whether to use the word biological as there may be life forms that are not carbon based?

But i didn't want to go into the weeds.

And there may be many different types of biology, but all of that is moot. What is important is whether that "life" has awareness, is able to replicate and can evolve intellectually.

What it looks like is that if there is water, and the right conditions for life exists, like planet earth, life sprouts up.

And there are trillions and trillions of planets in the universe and many would have conditions that allow life.

I am just saying I think "life" is pervasive in the universe and by logic intelligence.

<,

How do you define "biological life"?

Do you speak of DNA based, replication subject to Darwin's laws, or any organic molecule, or all matter/energy, or??

Is consciousness "biological" and subject to laws of physics?

Curious.
