Quote by Paul Davies

The way life manages information involves a logical structure that differs fundamentally from mere complex chemistry. Therefore chemistry alone will not explain life's origin, any more than a study of silicon, copper and plastic will explain how a computer can execute a program.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that life cannot be solely explained by chemistry. While chemistry plays a role in life's processes, the quote suggests that life's origin and complexity go beyond mere chemical reactions. It highlights that there is a logical structure involved in the management of information in life, which cannot be fully understood by studying chemicals alone. Drawing an analogy to a computer, the quote implies that just studying the components of a computer like silicon, copper, and plastic is insufficient to comprehend how it can execute a program. Similarly, understanding life requires considering its informational and organizational aspects, which extend beyond the realm of chemistry.

The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
