I've known for years that scientists don't know what life is. Bacterial life isn't life. It's not even right to call it life since it has no life in it. It doesn't have a life cycle. It doesn't grow old and die. The Bible calls it pestilence. We call it bacteria or germs.

Oh, sorry. Scientists everywhere apologize for doing all that research when you were here with the answers all along.
(incidentally, by your definition, you don't qualify as life)

Okay, lessee...bacteria is life, because it is alive. That said, very simple life, but life. It does have a life cycle, as it does give birth, and it does die. Sorry, but next time, try leaning away from the Scientific study of anal extraction.
OK, here's the definition of life (from wikipedia, backed up by my biology classes):
Actually, they are born, they grow, they eat, they defecate, they reproduce and they die. They infect bodies in the process, but they do. Did you miss science class in highschool?
They do define life in a richer and more complex way than you. You, like the Bible writers, anything that it's not useful or evident from the point of view of the humans, it's either not life or is an abomination. Well, let's put it this way. These scientists, unlike the Bible writers(who never knew nor have means to know it what a bacteria is, to begin with), you despise so much, must be so aware what bacteriae are that they have classified them and find the medicine to combact them. Now, who's the one who has no idea what life is?
bacteria are alive dipshit!
They grow, eat, expel waste, and reproduce.
eric, thats slightly wrong, i was taught life is "mrs gren"
movement, reproduction, sensitivity, growth, respiration, excretion and nutrition
homeostasis isnt one because not all animals are homeostatic- ie reptiles, so called "cold blooded" creatures

Reptiles and fishes and amphibians don't internally regulate but they do regulate other aspects of their internal environment, such as blood chemistry. Therefore they do have some homeostasis. Also, reptiles maintain their body temperature within a certain range by changing their behaviour. I would expect fish and amphibians do it too.
Actually, dimwit, bacteria DO have a life-cycle.
What is alive? Are your cells alive? Are your cell walls alive? Is the water in your body alive? If you weren't so ill-suited to thinking, I would say you have some thinking to do.

I've known for years that scientists don't know what life is.
And those stubborn scientists refuse to adopt your ignorant opinion, preferring instead to use a definition that is actually useful? How dare they!
I've known for years that scientists don't know what life is.
That's funny. We covered that in freshman high school biology. I guess the scientists forgot. Or maybe your dumb-ass redneck mother forget to teach you that in your home-schooling sessions.
'The Bible calls it pestilence'.
Er, no. The authors of the Bible had no idea of the existence of bacteria or 'germs'.
well, those scientists don't know what life is, but are able to eliminate those bacteriae, when the Bible writers thought it was a punishment sent by God(no pestilence, as far as I'm concerned)
Let us all sit down at the feet of MarkT and gaze in wonderment...
I wish I had the sheer gall to dream up some ludicrous statement and post it in public view.
Bacterial life isn't life... I wonder how bacterial infection occurs....
Another Purple Idiot!
Hehehehe - Purple Idiot = Maroon = Moron.
Sorry...
"Bacterial life isn't life. It's not even right to call it life since it has no life in it. It doesn't have a life cycle. It doesn't grow old and die. The Bible calls it pestilence. We call it bacteria or germs."
There's bacteria in your stomach. As the Bible says, 'If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out!', therefore you must do the same, re. your stomach. Far be it from me to stop you doing your righteous duty, MarkT(wat).

if bacteria is not alive , why do antibacterials kill them ?
is this a biblical thing that only air breathers with nostrils are actually alive ?
Fundies aren't alive because they have no life. They don't have life because they aren't living. We know they aren't living because of their lack of life, and they are not alive. They don't all of the signs of life, for example, the property of being alive. They are also not living creatures, as they lack life. It is not accurate to say they are alive, since they are not living. Claiming they contain life is a fallacy, due to their non-living nature. From that, and the fact that they do not live, we can deduce that fundies are, in fact, not alive.
The Bible calls [bacteria] pestilence.
If the beneficial bacteria living inside your body could read this, they would leave in disgust, you ungrateful bastard!
So, enlightened one, what is life?
Bacteria are definitely alive, viruses are not really alive as they have no cell-structure. They do have DNA/RNA, however, so they are sort of life.
Pestilence is one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, he brings plague. It's still a name and not an old or current discriptive word for germ spread deseases. That word was plague for Biblical times, since then we logged 100s of others all with their own name.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
