I accept the current scientific consensus on life. I am not a biologist, and so do not get an opinion. Neither do you.

It's somewhat more complicated than that, but yes, those are the basic criteria. You are wrong. Face it. Cite up, like I asked before.

Amd yes, I'd say something without a soul is alive. Because the soul doesn't exist. To my knowledge, the scientific community has never found evidence for the soul, and thus there is no reason to believe it exists. It would be the biggest discovery in decades, even centuries, if they found that. But they haven't.

I don't have a soul. You don't have a soul. Nothing has a soul. It doesn't exist.

So yes, if you ripped the soul from something, it would still be alive. Because you've not done anything to it.
