Here we go again with the soul crap. What the fuck is a soul? Where is it? Where is it located in the body? What is it made of? How much does it weigh? What are its physical dimensions? Until then you look mentally deluded bringing it up as a viable option to science. In fact it makes you look sorely ignorant. You are trying to brush off science because you think a delusion may be viable.
Why should I respect this, and not outright mock you for saying such things?
Quote:The idea with the secret of life is not is not that people would disagree that a cell is formed of lifeless particles - no one disagrees with that (I guess). The idea is the thing that makes a cell function (i.e. live): is it only chemistry? is it physics laws? And what does it make the living cell cease to function? Can one revive a cell after it's dead for a day? if not, why (if the cell has every component there, what's wrong?)? How does a cell know what molecules to consume? Have you studied how the cell functions and can provide physical & chemical explanations that clarify absolutely everything?
Look up "Enzymes". That would be a great start to help you understand how these functions happen. Also look up "Virus".
