David: Talbott has made the point that the molecules of the genome are a finely tuned orchestra, and that Watson and Crick and those that followed had no sense of imagination, a common problem in today's scientists grounded in methodological reductionist materialism. The complexity is truly staggering. It is an orchestra of molecules all acting under physico-chemical controls. So far the essence of life, the conductor, is not seen, but felt by looking/watching all the moving parts. There may not be a conductor on site in the individual cell, but the essence of life as created by the conductor'score! The victory of life as in Beethoven's Fifth. Only a genius could have directed the 'score' of life's music. Talbott was not defining any version of panpsychism. He was directing us at the scored complexity of life, to my mind directing us to appreciate the planning and not miss the forest for the trees. Both Tony and I are trying to provide you with the proper logical compass to see the intelligence behind the plan.-
Exactly! I wonder if it is my back ground in music that makes this so painfully obvious to me..If one note is off, or one instrument is missing, it changes everything. -> 
>David: Just a reminder, life started this complex. It had to. Anything less is not living. Therefore the intelligence that did the score for the orchestra of life had to be that complex, from the beginning! -Yes! Absolutely!

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
