to generate digital life

you'd need to calculate how many bits of information in a common object. let's 25% of the ink on a postal stamp contains 25,000 bits of information. pretty easy by the standards of quantum physics. you'd need a computer with the processing power for every one of those bits, and even then you would never have an entire object because real world objects are effected by every single object around them, which is infinitely more than the single object. 

and they say that just because the world is determined it makes us morally irresponsible but nothing could be farther than the truth. we're morally responsible for finding out exactly the base functions of this world. we might not be able to generate the entire universe, but we can find the string that pulls in what we want. I think it was galileo who suggested a mathematical formula for the functions of this world.
