Convergence and chemistry



Convergence and chemistry -
If convergence is correct and
if life is that chemistry that is most stable
reaction to certain specific environmental forces
in specific environments.
Then
we should expect life chemistry
to be the same - a convergence of similar chemistry
as a response to the same environmental forces and
conditions.

Thus no matter where life is found, if it is
a specific reaction to a specific environment,
then every recreation of that specific reaction
to that specific environment will give a
similar or 'convergent' life chemistry.

Though there must certainly be a lot of give and take
and alternate ways to do many things, the convergence
of similar life chemistry on earth (ex. eyesight)
should be relatively the same on any planet with life
because that planet has recreated the bulk of the same environment,
environmental forces,
and responses to that environment, that lead to the most
stability in that environment - i.e. life.
