Also also, treating life as a fifth fundamental force of the universe when chemistry explains all the components just fine is… well, literally pretentious. No.

No. Stating that chemistry explains all the components of life just fine is literally pretentious.
Maybe chemists should stop researching since they already explained everything?
- ben_w 8y ago> Stating that chemistry explains all the components of life just fine is literally pretentious. Name one biological proces which defies the laws of chemistry. Saying: > Maybe chemists should stop researching since they already explained everything? Is like saying “Computer scientists should stop researching since they already explained everything in terms of NAND gates”.
- simonh 8y agoNow you’re just nitpicking. So far every single process we have analysed occurring in living things has worked exactly as we expect from our understanding of chemistry. There just isn’t any reason to expect we will find anything chemistry can’t explain, and you haven’t given us any reason to do so or a way to test for such a thing. To put it another way, what leads you to your conclusion? What evidence is it based on? What phenomena that we currently observe might such a thing explain, and how?
