The problem is that we know much about how living things move, metabolize and so forth. There is no magical life-force or unknown energy operating here. You are making an existential claim. I ask you to define and identify it and all you give me is a restatement of a description. You have not actually defined anything or demonstrated this is anything real and exists.It's what animates the material nature. You know the difference between dead and alive. The definition for "energy" or "force" doesn't fit it, so we have "spirit."
Do YOU know the difference between alive and not alive? Are you able to make a clear cut division or is it a blurry line depending on our definitions?
