the science data points to us being part of a larger more complex system. We can't argue that, well we can but it just tells us what state of mind the person is in so I just stay out of their way.
The next question is how can we describe this system. The word alive come to mind for me. It describes and predicts the events we see around us. But even more importantly it gives us a mechanism for those explanations and predictions. For example, the connections people feel, the connections are real and can be not only explained using chemistry and physics but also can explain the connection to something bigger that may be alive. Again, that claim is more reasonable than saying we are alive and the system we are in is not ... Thats just stupid.
However. A person dieing, waking up, and flying away?
A finger pointing old guy going "poof there it is"?
Thats like santa at the south pole ...
A lost clause.
