2. All living things have a basic
design known as their
genetic code, in normal life
on Earth, this code is stored
in the self-replicating
molecule know as DNA.
Cars have none of this.
3. Lifeon Earth grows and
develops new systems over
time to accomplish a
variety of tasks.
Cars stay exactly the same
forever, and do the same
things forever, there is no
increase in mass or size in
cars over time.
4. Lifeon Earth reacts to changing
conditions and stimuli in their
environment.
A car does not.
For example, if a predator
moves toward an animal, it will
move away, if a car thief or a
vandal moves toward a car, it
stays still.
5. Organisms on Earth
reproduce, this means it
creates offspring, or more of
its own species.
A car however does not, and
can not reproduce in any
fashion.
The only way for there to be
more cars is if humans design
and manufacture them.
6. Life on Earth automatically
controls the inner workings of
its bodily functions in order to
maintain chemical stability.
If something is chemically
wrong with a car, it keeps
doing things the same
way, and will eventually cease
to function.
7. Living things use Materials and
Energy through metabolism to
build new cells all throughout
the body and grow.
Cars use Materials and Energy
through internal combustion to
accomplish repetitive
mechanical tasks in the same
areas of the car, not to build
new components.
8. Life on Earth is made up of
basic units known as cells.
There are several different
types of these cells, each with
a different function.
Cars however, are made up of
multiple standard parts that
only do one thing, and each
part has to be manufactured
separately, it doesn’t develop
inside the car.
9. Lifeon Earth changes over a
long period of time in order to
adapt to a changing
environment.
Cars however, stay the same
forever, they don’t develop
new ways of accomplishing
tasks, they don’t change their
functions, they just do the
same thing forever and ever.
10. We believe that the evidence we have
presented clearly shows that “cars” are
not alive.
