This strikes me as an entirely superfluous distinction. "just" random noise? What other kind of life is there..?

Why can't life be that? Why the "just"? Needless romanticism

No, it's not romanticism, it's metaphysics.

I'm reminding the commenter in the realm of materialism there really is no such thing as life, the universe is just a bunch of random noise including you and it.

If you think life exists you need something other than materialism, like spirituality etc..

It's an important paradox sitting right at the base of our rational world view that few realize exists.
