Good that we agree on this. That's why I was saying that if it is your SINCERE belief that matter comes first and living functions - be it simple life-sustaining function such as cell-division, or complex issue of consciousness, - follows from material interactions between "ingredients" so-to-say, then trying to actually reproduce life in this way is a worth-while investment for your analytical talents, as this - a successful achievement in this area - will put an end to all those "speculations" about Vital Force and energies, not?

Would not it be more interesting rather than trying to see who is going to be harmed by what and increasing fear and anxiety in your mind and minds of other people?
