Does this mean that only plants can do that photosynthesis thing?

No, plants couldn't survive on this diet either. Plants need sunlight, water, and various micro-nutrients.

The only thing that can survive on sunlight alone is a sentient solar-powered calculator.

Can we not turn this thread into yet another debate about biblical literalism? Thanks.

Not very many I'd wager, seeing how breathing is a reflex (and therefore involuntary).
EDIT: Or maybe a better way to put it is that, unlike eating and drinking, it's literally impossible to be too dumb to breathe.

If that were true, plastic bags wouldn't come with warning labels.


You can stop breathing, you just need to work at it.

They should genetically modify humans to perform photosynthesis so that we can live in space eating sunshine. Then we can have space stations without having to worry about food shipments and stuff.

Perhaps, in her own way... this woman was a pioneer of the future

That's just the sort of pro-sun propaganda I'd expect from someone named Suntory.

The burden lies on you to provide proof that people have been "resurrected" by doctors after being cold and dead. I'll just add no brain activity either, as that's another metric I consider important when determining whether someone is dead or not.

Brain activity has no relation to someone coming back from the dead before we had the ability to measure brain activity, so this seems like a particularly pointless derail of a pointless derail of a perfectly good sunlight thread. People used to get buried alive sometimes despite everyone thinking they were dead. If someone was dead enough to be buried, then they were "dead" by the standards of the community, and if they get better then one might describe what happened as returning from the dead.


On topic: I don't think sunlight lady will be coming back from the dead.
