Spirit and conciousness are basically the same thing, spirit is in a sense applied conciousness. We invented the concept of conciousness to define thought or mental processes, but scientifically speaking they are just chemical reactions, complex chemical reactions, but still so nonetheless.

That being said, there aren't any fundamental phyiscal differences between a living thing, dead thing, and a thing that was never alive.


I still don't understand. Are you saying a spirit is just complex chemical reactions, going by the fact that you say spirit and conciousness are basically the same thing?

There's a fundamental physical difference between a living thing and a thing that was never alive, though. A living thing can manipulate things that were never alive, whereas it cannot happen the other way around.
