To old edition. What kind of thing is creature?

It first has to confirm characteristic of creature if it tries to understand civilization. It is because it seems that a community as organism acquires civilization, evolving. Moreover, it is because it seems that the mechanism of evolution is based on the basic characteristic of creature. But, it first has to decide what kind of thing is organism. So, if it says with the intuitive understanding, it seems the answer that "It is the things having the life" is suitable.
However, what kind of things are the lives? It seems it can find out some answers if it looks for it in the viewpoints of philosophy and religion or other. However, if it looks for it biologically, it is difficult to expect the definite answer.
It is because it seems the lives are a kind of singular point at the whole of creature or at the individuals in the viewpoint of the natural science. In other words, it seems that it is difficult to find the being of the things named the lives so that it is difficult to find out the true character of Big Bang.

Therefore, it seems that the biology as the natural science needs another basic concepts in place of the lives. Thereupon, our predecessors understood a organism as active substance which supplies the energy to oneself in the purpose of the self-multiplication. Moreover, they found out two general concepts called the species-preservation and self-preservation as the fundamental logic of creature with the sharp insight. Needless to say, the species-preservation roughly is corresponding to the sexual desire, and as for the self-preservation, it roughly is corresponding also to the appetite. However, since it seems the instinct of species-preservation is derived from the instinct of self-preservation, it needs to treat these two concepts carefully.

By the way, the relationship between the two instincts like that brings the deep-rooted contradictions to the creature's society. And, it can find out the contradictions like that as the remarkable phenomenon especially in the society of higher forms of life. It states its detailed explanation later. Since it seems the society of creature grows under the same logic as evolution of the creature, it is because it can state nothing of the contradiction like that until it can understand evolution properly.

Today, it is said the organism is the ship carrying the genes to future world. And, it also is said the basic instincts (self-preservation, the species-preservation) are kept for the purpose like that. If so, it can think that the function of a organism as the ship like that functions as the ultimate self-preservation for the genes because it seems its purpose is the preservation of genes finally. And, the genes look to actually be using the creature as the ship to carry himself to the future. In other words, it apparently seems the organism is the mere transportation for genes. And, actually, the interpretation like that exists. However, would it be really so on earth ?

Today, the mankind has started to use not only the genes of oneself, but also the genes of other creatures for oneself. By any chance, would the human act like that be the genes' schedule ? Or, would this recognition be different from the fact a little ? At any rate, it seems the relationship of the mankind and gene is the relationship like an interdependence though it doesn't judge whether the human act like that is proper. Then, it seems the interdependence like that can be applied to not only the relationship of mankind and the genes, but also the relationship of all the organisms and the genes. It is because the various organisms added the genes of other organisms to the genes of oneself as a time. And, the organisms like that often changed to the organisms which have the more excellent properties for the survival than before. But, it here doesn't think about whether the organisms have the intent of using gene.

Anyhow, it seems that the creature not only is the ship carrying the genes, but also is the machine using the genes. And, the gene like that should be called the creature if it is seen from the logic of creature. Therefore, it seems the fundamental contradiction the creature has exists already even into the genes. But, as for its details, it is stated later.
By the way, it seems that the gene's purpose, as a matter of fact, is the preservation of the heredity information he has, not the preservation of oneself if it says more strictly. And, the characteristic of gene like that is based on the heredity information. Therefore, there is the possibility "the lives" is the information on something, though it still can't find out its contents. At least for me, it seems it is so. Anyhow, it is certain that the ship carrying the things named the lives not only is a gene, but also is a organism using the genes as well.

* As for the relationship of something named "the lives" and the information, it seems it includes very serious problem for us. But, since it seems that it not only is the theme of the natural science, but also is the philosophical theme, it would think it in the other opportunity.

By the way, it doesn't seem this ship carrying the things named the lives is confined to only a gene and a individual. In other words, it seems that the ship like that not only is the society or colony the individual belongs to, but even is the biological species and an ecosystem. Or, the concept of this ship may have to get expanded to the broader meaning than the above mentioned concepts. It thinks that the concept like that can be expanded at least to the universe we belong to, or to something of the larger scale.
By the way, there are the parts like the personification in the above statements. However, if it can regard a gene and a living body as cognition-subject, it may be fact, not a personification. Anyhow, it is certain a living body have the above attribute. Therefore, the future reasonings all are based on the above reasoning.
