Is life science or is science life?

Question

What do you think?

Answer 1

I don't become too attached to any belief. Despite our reign on this planet, we are only in our infancy in terms of knowledge. I would consider science a demonstration of our curiosity and life to be something that we have yet to "figure out".

Answer 2

In the words of Joseph Campbell "Life is!","Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. "

Life and all that is in it, is a reflection of Deity. Life in general terms has no purpose except to exist. Each personal purpose is to follow their bliss.

Science however is our feeble understanding of what Life does. In all truth asking is Life, science or is science, Life is like asking is Sickness, health care or is health care, sickness? They are related but not congruent.

You can have one without the other. Life existed way before science was created.

Questions such as your's has come up in many theoretical classes across the globe and left many groups and individuals arguing until they were blue in the face. Furthermore, since the two do not equate on a level such as you ask, there can be no true answer, for the question is illogical. Yes, bananas are fruit and cherries are fruit, but this doesn't make cherries the same as bananas. On this level, Life exists, and Science is the study of all that exists but to say that they can be one of the other is just plain silly.
