All life is just chemicals interacting.
All the available evidence shows that life is just complex chemical and electrical interactions.
If you want to CLAIM that life requires an extra special 'life force' or 'spirit' that animates it
then the onus is on you to provide evidence for and proof of that ...[text shortened]... riousness, I am a collection of 'consciously aware chemicals'.
Prove otherwise.
then I will believe it. 😏

It does not matter.
I doubt you would believe it if it came within your lifetime anyway, you would just say, it's not life or some such. You would not let something as mundane as man made life come between your and your religious delusions.
Its funny how you have no problem with scientific developments in other arenas but only in the life sciences. Putting men on the moon elicit no religious indignation, developments in drug design, cancer cures, environmental sciences (well those that don't challenge your delusion about the age of the Earth), math, and so forth.
These sciences don't collide with your religious delusions so you have no objection to them but evolution scientists have some kind of conspiracy going like no other science. Doesn't that tell you something about your own prejudices?
You either have to think ALL scientists are involved in vast conspiracies or you have to rethink your religious delusions.
