  We don't all agree that we are no closer to answer

  Why don't you agree? We have not had any answers, so by definition, we are no closer to an answer.

  Your answer was an imaginary life-force.

  In the context "we" would mean everybody.

  There is no club of unbelievers.

  Of course not. I say "we"because the people who claim to know surely aren't providing any clues or help. It would appear they have no idea either, hence the "we". It's all of us on this thread.

  Except that Vivane can't speak for everybody. If she claims to, then she is lying.

  Of course I didn't make that claim. It's silly to even suggest it.

  We don't all agree that we are no closer to answer, though it's obvious that Viviane is no closer and possibly will never be closer to an answer.

  Agreement? What does that have to do with anything? No one has provided an answer, what is spirit comprised of? What is the stuff that makes up angels and demons? What is "life force" comprised of?

  If you know, please tell us. Otherwise, we are no closer to an answer than we were when this thread started. Please let me know if or when you have something of value to contribute.

  Cofty, that was only one of my posts about spirit. It is only speculation on your part that the force that give us sentience and animation is imaginary.

  Agreed, chemistry and physics is certainly not imaginary!

  No it's not speculation.

  You made grandiose claims about how, "we know it exists. Doctors, scientists, us--we all know it exists... "

  Utter nonsense.

  Its a metaphor.

  There is something about living matter that is different from the same material when it is dead and ceased to be maintained by the processes of energy - use.

  There is a sying "Knowledge is power" and live organism seemed to be powered by Konowledge, information that is encrypted in the matter, dependent on being fed, and oxigenized.

  we and all life die of STARVATION, Sterbensome might say.

  keep feeding us and keep the knowledge alive.

  That's the spirit.

  l'eprit du corps.

  Prologos, your answer is a metaphor meaning "I don't know" since you can't actually explain what it is. We have the "don't know" topic covered.

  Thanks!
