A 3D view of the structure of hemoglobin.

In molecules, hemoglobin, molecular formula: C2932H4724N828O840S8Fe4, is an oxygen-transport metalloprotein, comprised of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and iron, found in the red blood cells of all vertebrates; it was first analyzed in 1959. [1]

In 1999, American religious philosopher-physicist Holmes Rolston, in the context of the life vs non-life debate, argued that “god as a countercurrent to entropy, a sort of biogravity that lures life upward” and went on to argue the following unbridgeable gap type of logic [reactions added]: [2]

“The knowhow, so to speak, to make salt is already in the sodium and chlorine:

Na + Cl → NaCl

but the knowhow to make hemoglobin molecules and lemurs is not secretly coded in the carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen:

2932C + 4724H + 828N + 840O + 8S + 4Fe → C2932H4724N828O840S8Fe4

Life is a countercurrent to entropy, an energetic fight uphill in a world that typically moves thermodynamically downhill (despite some negentropic eddies, and despite some irreversible thermodynamics). Thermodynamics need be nowhere violated, because there is a steady ‘downhill’ flow of energy, as energy is irradiated into earth from the sun, and, eventually, reradiated into space.”

This, for course, is a stepping stone to the arrival of the defunct theory of life (2009), the life does not exist (2010), and life terminology upgrades (2011) views.
