Shirdi sai have you authored this book on genome?- Part IV

The secret of life is indeed a thread...the earth and ocean were probably peopled with vegetable productions long before other families of them, shall we conjecture that one and the same kind of the living filaments is and has been the cause of all organic life?
How can a filament make something live? Life is a slippery thing to define, but it consists of two very different skills, ability to replicate, and the ability to create order. Living things produce the approximate copies of themselves. Rabbits produce rabbits, dandelions produce dandelions, but rabbits do more than that. They eat grass transform themselves....
The key for both of these features of life is information. The ability to replicate is made possible by the existence of the recipe, the information to create a new body. A rabbit’s egg carries the instruction for assembling a new rabbit. But the ability to create order through metabolism also depends on information....
These pieces of information get transcribed translated and synthesis protein which is the actual dogma of molecular biology....as that of selection and sequencing in computer programming....One thing for sure every thing right from machine to man needs selection, sequencing and execution.....isn’t it program ultimately ?
