quote:
What does it mean to be alive?
​
It means that I can move, think, and do. It means that I am self-aware as well as aware of others.
​
So plants, which do not think, aren't alive? Why does the specialness of god regarding life only refer to thinking things?

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.

Re: What The Story Says
But Phat, what does that mean with regard to the question, "Jesus is alive"?
​
What does it mean to be "alive"? Your definition excluded plants. But then you say that they are alive.
