The meaning of the noun "Body" is the physical structure of a person or an animal, including the bones, flesh, and organs. By definition is the whole of a living being with interdependent parts. A living being by definition is alive.
Are you aware of any physical bodies/organisms that aren't made of matter?
Quote:Also, how can abiogenesis work? Life coming from non-life? It sounds similar to matter coming from non-matter (nothing).No. That's a ridiculous notion to compare those statements analogously. "Ex nihilo nihil fit", Nothing comes from nothing.
It is possible within nature, in reality, for organic and inorganic compounds to arise. It is possible that the blocking blocks of life can emerge without intervention, and these single-celled organisms can evolve into something possessing self-awareness, otherwise we could not be here now communicating and comprehending our own existence.
Quote:Ps, by life coming from non-life, I DON'T mean organic molecules. Im sure you can make that in a lab. But make some that can talk to others, form a government, and create morals. Only then will I have the proof needed to have faith in abiogenesis. Otherwise it's just blind faith.Faith IS blind. None of us have faith in abiogenesis. I for one don't want or need faith for anything. Why do you need to have faith aka gullibility in something?
