What do you not understand?

"Pop and adapt" is a Hendricksism.

Now that's flattering!

Crystalline ancestry does have a power supply from the beginning.
It probably derives its energy from the hydrological cycle:

Which Tyler, you know is another word for sun temperature cycle.
So if you believe in the hydrological cycle, then you are agreeing
with
me that life is the most stable reaction (or most life-like, they are
the same)
to that sun/heat cycle.


It also has a metabolism by most sensible definitions - though some
definitions of "metabolism" you see make assumptions about cellularity,
or biochemistry, or are unsuitable in other ways - e.g.:

"The body transformation of food into energy."
"the chemical changes in living cells by which energy is provided for
  vital processes and activities and new material is assimilated."
"All of the processes that occur in the body that turn the food you eat
into energy your body can use."

Anyway, these factors seem to make it a "non-pop" scenario.

My response is the same here as it was to the metabolism first post.
IF this is a response to what is stable and often happening in the
environment
then it is not a fluke. AND if you can carry your scenario through
such that every
step is one in which no fluke is involved, instead the processes are
natural
and stable as a response to that environment, then they are not a 'non-
pop' scenario.

But they also prove my point. Life is that reaction to the sun heat
cycle (you call
it hydrological) that is the most stable.
