posed this question and remarked that “the obvious inability of present-day physics and chemistry to account for such events is no reason at all for doubting that they can be accounted for by those sciences”.
How do the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry converge to produce biological systems of seemingly ordered complexity?.
Vast numbers of molecules are averaged to generate macroscopic precision with well-defined states of thermodynamic properties.
The laws of physics that mold solids and gases into ornate complexity are not the same laws of nature that morph biological systems.
It is a function of laws that generate order from pre-existing order, which in the first place derives from chaos.
Was consciousness merely an emergent consequence of adaptive complexity in order to cope with ever-increasing novel and changing situations?
But, life as we know it is only based on our perception of life as it appears to us on Earth. »
