Bacteria are part of the animal kingdom are they not. Thus they do have a life-giving force and that is exactly what the spirit is.

This is a straw man my argument is that dead organisms have all the necessary components required for life in tact for a certain period after death before tissue breakdown kicks in. Humans for example have the necessary components for life and more than that these components are arranged in the right positions, otherwise resuscitations wouldn't be possible. The fact that organisms can die despite having all the requirements for life is clear proof that having parts and having them in the right places is not all that's required.

No they are not. They do not belong to the Animalia or Metazoa. I hunt for the truth I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand

oh yeah that's right, my bad, they belong to the kingdom Monera, oh boy that'l teach me not to respond to quickly.

Cedre
You are still confusing yourself by talking about "parts" being present at the start of abiogenesis and also when a body has just died. As I have already explained, the "parts" that would have been present at the start of abiogenesis are completely different to the "parts" that make up a living or recently deceased body. Completely different. The "parts" that would have been present for the process of abiogenesis to begin would have been chemical elements or compounds that began a process of reactions. They would not have in any way resembled the "parts" of a living or deceased body. And the process of abiogenesis the led to the very first simple self-replicating lifeforms would have been totally different to the processes that keep a fully-formed body alive and that can sometimes resuscitate a body. So, we are talking about: - COMPLETELY DIFFERENT KINDS OF "PARTS" and - COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROCESSES ACTING ON THOSE DIFFERENT "PARTS". There is no connection between your difficulty in understanding the reason for death, and your difficulty in understanding the process of abiogenesis. They are completely different things.

They were still parts.
Are you suggesting that these chemical reactions characterized the earliest life form or are you suggesting that they preceeded the earliest life form? If the former biologically a bisque of chemicals undergoing a series of reactions does not qualify as life, you need to display some characteristics of living things in order to be said to be alive, I take it for granted that you know what these characteristics are. So the first living organism was beyond the stage of being just chemical reactions as you're suggesting but possessed parts as simple as they might have been so as to perform at least some of the things that the living things today perform. If the latter then these chemical reactions were only responsible for making the parts necessary for life but then like I showed having parts isn't all that needed.

I asked earlier, but you seem to have moved on to other things: Why is resuscitation even required? If the physical body has all the right parts in all the right places for it to be alive...why does someone need to come along and rearrange the parts, add more energy, supply new chemicals etc before it will come back to life?

Uhm yeah.... That's the same as saying you can create a plane engine with bike parts. "But, they're still parts !" I hunt for the truth I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand

In the meantime I will object and say that a driver is necessary, a car with all the necessary parts doesn't automatically have speed it needs to move first, and until then it's but a "speedless" collection of parts.
Again your wrong as I show above.
Your misrepresentation of my argument is so clear. I'm not arguing against the fact that all the parts necessary for life need to be in place for life to be, my argument is although these parts are necessary for life they are not single-handedly responsible for life, they make up but one piece of the jigsaw puzzle.
No your analogy makes no sense to me I don't even think it ties to what we are discussing.
Nonsense you're just trying to duck the need for a driver, but a car does need a driver to start it up and get it on the road before speed appears and to assume that a motionless car has speed is rubbish, it sure does have the potential to have speed but that potential won't be realized until the car is driven.

Actually, a car, even if stationary, does have speed. I hunt for the truth I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand

0 speed equals 0 life in our case. 0 speed doesn't work. Speed=distance/time, the car needs to travel a distance first.

Monera is becoming archaeic, Bacteria are now recognized as a Domain with 2 other domains, Archaea & Eukaryota making up all living things.

You said bacteria have a 'spirit'. Do the other kingdoms?
Protista? Plantae? Fungi? Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

Life comes from non-living material, whether you believe that it was started by god or arose spontaneously on its own makes no difference. "Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts." -Albert Einstein "I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief."

No its not necessary for the analogy, an analogy is not an exact representation of reality. Whether the car has a driver, the tires have air, or if the road is icy, it does not detract from the point he (or she) is trying to make. Emergent properties are the point, the analogy is an attempt for you to perhaps understand, but instead you show a misunderstanding of what an analogy is meant to do. Would you care to take a look at the point instead of whether the road in the analogy is gravel or pavement?
and yet when people have responded to you that the parts necessary are not in place you are unable to show otherwise. Decay starts immediately upon death. Your claim that 'parts' are still intact is incorrect, the heart/brain/etc may be intact but decay has set in on the cellular level and you have not shown otherwise. You cannot show otherwise because its an established and well known fact. You said "the only way for parts to fade from a corpse is through decay and like the Wikipedia article said decay can take a few days even years" But you somehow continue to miss the point that it can take days or even years for decay to finish the job, the process of decay begins immediately upon death. It also a well known fact that cold temperatures can extend the time in which a person can be brought back from death. Everyone but you says that this is because decay does not set in as quickly. You however are pressed to explain why warm temperatures make souls leave bodies faster than cold temperatures. So will you now amuse me with some explanation that makes your model of cold souls make sense?
Are you trying to duck the definition of 'analogy'?
This newest analogy is showing how you are completely missing the point of the previous analogy and instead showing a misunderstanding of the point of an analogy. Since you are a part of the discussion it is quite on target for the analogy to point out a flaw in your method of debate. The point is to show that you just don't get it, and you don't.
