But that just isn't enough thinking here. To say life is that which 'feeds and
breeds' misses the point.

For anything to feed abreed it first must react to some force that is forcing
the change. If there were no force the
Z*n nothing would change from the past conditions. And under conditions that
never change then there are no variants and no selection.

So let's ask the question that follows. What forces any chemicals to shift to
feeding and breeding to survive and prosper in their environment?
