With exquisitely developed sensitivities, we can delight in the abundant pleasures of our senses. With unprecedented intelligence, imagination, and language capabilities, we can celebrate our creations in the arts and literature, our discoveries in science, our inventions in technology, and the other glories of human culture. With our unique form of conscious awareness, we are not only part of nature, as are other creatures, but with our minds we can stand outside of nature and reflect both on nature itself and on our own human nature. Without parallel among all other life forms on Earth, we have evolved the conscious experience of self-identity as a subject distinct from all else as object. But with self-awareness comes death-awareness. With self-consciousness comes the capacity to worry - increasingly aware that life is full of uncertainties, that life can go wrong for us. In time we discover the Tree of Good and Evil. Among the estimated ten million species on the planet, an unparalleled power of conscious awareness has evolved a unique species - Homo sapiens.

However, even inert matter is in constant movement and change. We continue to find life in places that we did not believe that it could exist, such as on the bottom of the sea floor around thermal vents. Perhaps our ideas of what is living and what is non-living are flawed and merely the measure of our ignorance and restricted powers of observation.

Does this sound like a strange question to you? Of course we all know what is meant by the word "life", but how would you define it? <br/><br/>Do all living things move? Do they all eat and breathe? Even though we all seem to know what is meant by saying something is "alive", it's not very easy to describe what "life" is. It's almost as hard as describing where life came from. <br/><br/>Even the biologists (people who study life) have a tough time describing what life is! But after many years of studying living things, from the mold on your old tuna sandwich to monkeys in the rainforest, biologists have determined that all living things do share some things in common: What is life?
