gollark: Which are mostly for some specific technical context and make sense there. Because it's a hard to define word.

gollark: The broader issue is that when people say stuff like that they generally mean to sneak in a bunch of connotations which are dragged along with "organism" or "life".

gollark: You could *maybe* stretch that to extend to *all* humans, but *also* probably-not-organism things like stars, which also reproduce (ish), process things into usable energy (ish), sort of respond to stimuli for very broad definitions of stimuli, maintain a balance between radiation pressure and gravity, and grow (ish).

gollark: Individual humans are "organisms" by any sensible definition, inasmuch as they... reproduce, think, maintain homeostasis, grow, respond to stimuli, process inputs into usable energy and whatever.

gollark: I consider myself an atheist, since even though don't *know* there isn't a god, that doesn't mean I'm going to treat it as "well, maaaaaaybe" when the general policy for poorly evidenced claims is just to say "no".
