Errr, no. You are telling me that the body is a vessel for an entity that can (and does?) escape it at some point. You have to demonstrate that this is the case. I am going to assume that you cannot, and that you will explain that you cannot by claiming that it's not part of "physical real(i)ty." And we'll be back at square one.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
