I'm alive, made up of "congealed energy" (matter), have a conscience (which isn't uniquely human because I swear that dogs and gorillas feel guilt, although that could just be Pavlov's Dog thing), think we came from an amazing process where molecules turned into cells (little enclosed bubbles where life eventually came out of and replicated), think the universe came from two higher dimension m-branes which briefly touched causing the big bang... and yet believe that if DNA evolved elsewhere in the universe, itd be so strange and different that we might not recognize it if we see it.
