Matter and energy are manifestations of the same thing: matter is energy "frozen" into electric particles. These whirl in energy systems called atoms, which in turn form larger energy systems called molecules. These form dynamic energy systems called cells, which we refer to as "alive." Thus the difference between "dead" atoms and "living" cells is not of ultimate nature but of complexity. Man is an aggregate of 1,000 billion cells, each of them an individual, self-centred organism, which work together by means of chemical signals and the nervous system. This final complexity, "living" man, evolved from nonlife...
