thats the point - there are spare parts - and in fact the computer was clearly made from them (so it undoubtedly is a result of complexity) you can indicate death in an organism by various factors (lack of bioelectricity in the cells, plasma deficiency, dysfunctional organ etc) but life cannot be restored or constructed from these things.
Nor will denying it support your argument. The wise attitude is to wait and see rather than invent a convenient answer. Science has history on its side. Religious " explanations" have proved nothing whatever to date.
there is also the philosophical issue whether classical empiricism has the monopoly on knowledge ...... which of course you are reluctant like hell to discuss Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
perhaps for a start you could examine on what basis you assert that life is materially reducible ... since it is obviously not an empirical claim
What is your point ? You are asking a question to which you, yourself, have no meaningful answer. Why assume that science will not eventually explain it ? I'm sure as hell that nothing else will. If you believe otherwise , explain what you mean !
Why assume that it will? You surety already indicates that you have violated empirical standards so you agree you are talking about your beliefs of what is capable for empiricism?
I am makinfg no assumptions other than I consider it possible that science may come up with an answer. I do not say it will do so. In other words . I am venturing an opinion based on my experience of the world.Science has provided lots of answers to problems that were once considered imponderable; religious beliefs have done nothing of the kind. If you have an opinion in the matter. I would like to know on what it is based.
