Re: The TRUTH of Neutralizing our Stomach Acids
I simplified this to a 3rd grade level and you still do not understand this SIMPLE concept!!!
>>"Is a spark plug a car? Is a piston a car? Is a speedometer a car? No, none of these are a car. But they can be combined with many other parts to make a car. Just like there are many components that are required to make a living cell."<<
A "spark plug" has parts...
A "speedometer" has parts...
Very poor examples of individual "parts"... but I think I get the idea.
Actually an excellent set of examples to anyone who can use common sense and has an ability to learn. All you did was to further break down what I pointed out, which just backed my point even more. Want to break it down even more? Is ceramic a spark plug? No. It metal a spark plug? No. Can ceramic and metal be used togehter to make a spark plug? Of course. By the same point that I made and you just verified carbon will not a life form make. It is PART of some life forms when COMBINED with all the other INGREDIENTS NEEDED to make life!!!
>>"Just like there are many components that are required to make a living cell. This does not make the individual parts living."<<
You state that the "cell" is living, but that the parts are "dead" by themselves... so in essence, you seem to understand, at least rudimentarily, that the combined "dead parts" form a "life"...
Which again individual parts do not make a living cell just as a spark plug does not make a car. Although it looks like you may finally be starting to understand this ultra-simple concept
what is meant by "live carbon" is the point at which, during the carbon cycle, the carbon is utilized in a life process...
What is it about the term "cycle" that you do not understand? I could look up the definition for you if you are unable.
If you prefer to deny that life exists by following your "scientific" logic of detachment away from reality, that is your choice.
I know this is new to you... and obviously others.

Word games!!! What all your links are talking about is plant based carbon, which is part of a living SYSTEM. This DOES NOT make carbon itself living. Let me put it this way. Here is a carbon atom: C
Now by the definition of life explain to us how this atom is alive. Not with your made up definitions, but with the actual accepted definition of living.
And as for your comment from a previous post:
Are we not carbon based "life" forms? are we not "alive"?-grzbear
The key word is "life" as you seem to be aware of. So is a dead body also living as it cotains the SAME EXACT carbon from a once living system?
