Who knows?
Oh, so you're equivocating, and your entire argument is nonsensical if someone points out there's no observable difference between a meat machine that stops working, or a meat machine that loses it's ability to function without a supernatural component you haven't demonstrated exists.
There's a big difference between a meat machine and a chicken. Humans constructed the meat machine and we power it on and off. A chicken wakes up every day, goes where it wants to and make decisions for itself. The chicken lives and the machine doesn't. When a machine stops functioning, it's just broke. When a chicken stops functioning it dies.
