Really? Who refers to them as still life? To me, still life is an artistic term that applies to a particular art form.
Quote:would you call that the same "life" that mammals share?
I see, you're not interested in defending your position. You just spout out baseless assertions, then insist we take you seriously.
I have already countered your earlier assertions about the Y chromsome by stating common knowledge: that the Y chromosome is not present in non-mammalian species, that it is possible for organisms to reproduce without a male and stating what exactly the Y chromsome codes for.
Plants obviously don't share the same kind of life that mammals do, but then again, bats don't exactly share the same kind of life that humans do. This, however, is irrelevant.
You stated that the Y chromsome is the spark of life. Yet there are many other organisms out there, many of which outnumber mammals, that do not even have a Y chromosome. Your original assertion implied that only organisms with a Y chromsome are alive. Now you're changing your tact, which is understandable seeing as the information you now have contradicts your original assertion.
However, I bet that you are still holding on to your original premise about the importance of the Y chromosome. Despite the fact that Richard Lenski managed to prove that evolution occurs without the Y chromosome with his
E. coli experiment, thus disproving your very first baseless assertion, and that I have given you two examples of organisms that can reproduce without a male.
Now tell me, what is your assertion again and what evidence do you have to back it up?
