You argue that an "organism" is not a computer (as it does not compute). But why should I believe that a computer is not necessarily an "organism" in your sense of the word? Or would you have us believe that organisms and computers are not made from the same universal stuff?

That is the opposite of what I have read from those groups of people.

It is not true that all computers are digital. A computer made out of Tinkertoys or DNA is no less of a computer although the rules of operation may be different.
