Life, it seems, is nothing if not a series of initiations, transitions, and incorporations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life is a process of evolution.
Life is lived on levels and arrived at in stages.
Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.
Life does not proceed by the association and addition of elements, but by dissociation and division.
Life cannot arise spontaneously but comes only from preexisting life.
Life is simply the reification of the process of living.
So how can we test the idea that the transition from nonlife to life is simple enough to happen repeatedly? The most obvious and straightforward way is to search for a second form of life on Earth. No planet is more Earth-like than Earth itself, so if the path to life is easy, then life should have started up many times over right here.
Life is just an ongoing process.
It is not a life at all. It is a reticence, in three volumes.
Life is the division of human cells, a process which begins at conception.
