Quantum Biology and the Puzzle of Coherence

[tama]

16. To begin with

Darwinian evolution has a top down causal component called "environmental adaptation". So to combine biology and physics, a biofriendly cosmological environment is required to begin with. And cosmological considerations without exceptions lead to various philosophical questions and presuppositions about time, and quantum cosmological considerations especially so, with arrows of time going both ways etc. On what kind notion of time is the basic question of the research program based on? And is it a relevant and sufficient premisse to get relevant answers concerning quantum biology?

Of course I'm all for the research program, but to begin with the basic questions of any research programs and rational inquiries need to be carefully formulated and as open and conscious as possible about their implicated presuppositions.
