    Yes, but how do living things come into existence? What makes a cell alive?

    It’s not about defining what a living being is.

        “And so people come to sorts of agreements about, uh, how much of a wiggle is a wiggle; that is to say a thing. One wiggle, you can always reduce any one wiggle into sub-wiggles. Or see it as a subordinate wiggle in a bigger wiggle. But there’s no real fixed rule about it”
