Thank you, I will continue the discussion on the boards. Regarding the origin of life: there is some problem with the Metabolism-First theories (chiefly RNA WWhen there was no metabolism or any other activity for the RNA to perform, what was it coding for? It cannot be presumed that it coded for the proteins (enzymes) first and later metabolism appeared. How did a multitude of RNA molecules formed at a given time and coded for an array of enzymes? One cannot say that, first RNA coded for proteins randomly and then these proteins catalyzed various metabolic pathways. Metabolism, as we know now, cannot function so randomly.orld theory).
Your messages are interesting and thought-provoking. Please continue this discussion on the boards, where everyone can participate.
I'm not sure how you're using the word "aware." It certainly isn't the way we use it. Awareness presumes cognition and plants have no organ that can provide the power of cognition. In any case, this discussion would be more appropriate on the boards where others could follow and/or participate.
"Awareness" isn't a good choice of words in English because it implies consciousness, a property unique to the animal kingdom. Thanks for the offer, but I must decline because I never give out my real-life identity, for various professional reasons.
