Life (cf. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biota_(ecology) biota]) is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have [[signaling]] and self-sustaining [[processes]] (i.e., living [[organisms]]) from those that do not, either because such [[functions]] have ceased ([[death]]), or else because they lack such functions and are [[classified]] as [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inanimate inanimate]. [[Biology]] is the science concerned with the [[study]] of life.

Living [[organisms]] undergo [[metabolism]], maintain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis homeostasis], possess a capacity to [[grow]], respond to [[stimuli]], reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt to their [[environment]] in successive [[generations]]. More [[complex]] living organisms can [[communicate]] through various means. A [[diverse]] array of living organisms (life forms) can be found in the [[biosphere]] on [[Earth]], and the properties common to these organisms—[[plants]], animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria—are a carbon- and water-based [[cellular]] form with [[complex]] [[organization]] and heritable [[genetic]] information.

In [[philosophy]] and [[religion]], the [[conception]] of life and its [[nature]] varies. Both offer [[interpretations]] as to how life relates to [[existence]] and [[consciousness]], and both [[touch]] on many related issues, including life stance, [[purpose]], conception of a god or gods, a soul or an [[afterlife]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life]

Life does not [[originate]] [[spontaneously]]. Life is constructed according to [[plans]] formulated by the (unrevealed) ''Architects of Being''[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Architects_of_the_Master_Universe] and appears on the [[inhabited planets]] either by direct importation or as a result of the operations of the ''[[Life Carriers]]'' of the [[local universes]]. These carriers of life are among the most interesting and [[versatile]] of the [[diverse]] [[family]] of universe Sons. They are intrusted with designing and carrying [[creature]] life to the [[planetary]] [[spheres]]. And after planting this life on such new worlds, they remain there for long periods to foster its [[development]].
