Do creationists accept the evolution of plants?

OK, what exactly is your definition of "life", then?

Good, I wish others can learn how to ask question like you do.

The only valid definition of (earthly) "life" is implied in the Bible. Otherwise, I can argue that anything and everything, is alive, even a rock.

Can you argue that a rock is a life, according to biochemistry?
I can.

--------

Now, someone can start to spread two pieces of good knowledge of me:
1. Plants are not life.
2. Rocks are life.

I'm not sure proving that a rock is alive would help your creationist position.

Exactly, I know much more than you do.

Strange. You've never shown any evidence of knowing anything.

So you don't see what I said. I said that because I wish I could teach you a little.

Ah, the wish, the innocent little wish, reveals all. I'm sure you do wish you were regarded as a teacher, but then many people wish for things that they envy in others. I wish I could run in the Olympics 100m sprint final, but I'm about as close to that as you are to being a teacher.

If you don't like my teaching,

The thing is, juve, at the risk of bursting your bubble, you aren't teaching, you are spouting uninformed drivel made up off the top of your head, presumably because you have nothing to offer from inside it. Some of us stop and laugh at the nonsense you come out with from time to time, but none of us imagine, as you do, that your twaddle is 'teaching'.

then I would let you go to play with others.

Aw, poor juve, so much rejection for one with such an innocent wish.

Thanks!

If you can do it, do it. How is a rock alive?

Can you argue that a rock is a life, according to biochemistry?

No. Can you argue that the Bible is a unicorn, according to gravity?


Then do it.

Now, someone can start to spread two pieces of good knowledge of me:
1. Plants are not life.
2. Rocks are life.

1. Yes they are.
2. No they are not.

This hypothesis is a load of old baloney if I have ever seen it.

Thank you. Such a well-reasoned, thoughtful and mature post has opened my eyes. Your post has totally convinced me, and I'm sure many others, that evolution is a load of total rubbish.

I was foolish to ever want evidence and rational debate. All I needed was your unsupported opinions.

Your friendly and open attitude was perhaps the most crucial thing in convincing me. You seem like just the sort of person I would love to agree with considering your complete lack of antagonism towards people with different beliefs. Thank you.

[Here endeth the sarcasm]

1. Yes they are.

Rock is alive because it changes through time by taking and releasing energy. It can be born, it ages, and it can die.

What else do you need for a life?

Say what? Are you serious or was this post sarcastic?

Do rocks reproduce? Grow? Are they sensitive to external stimuli? Do they need nutrition? Do they excrete?

A rock isn't born and it doesn't die. Death is typically defined as a cessation of biological functions, which a rock objectively does not have.

You may describe that biological function of death. And I will use the same to precisely describe the death of a rock.

Try!
