Well I guess that I am saying that no one can define what life is 
BECAUSE we can't make an all inclusive definition.
The latest discussion on the replication and the "something 
more"? on this newsgroup displays a nice example of two 
parties that essentially both are right and yet cannot come to terms 
on the central issue.

Life is a wonderful thing; as long as you hold the string (F.Sinatra 
[or C.Porter])
