:::: If you want to argue that the writers of the Bible did not consider plants to be alive in the same sense as animals, I completely agree; I take no issue with that part of your statement.  Certainly, they didn't consider bacteria to be alive...it's extremely unlikely that they considered bacteria at all (I suppose it's possible that God revealed the existence of bacteria to them, but it seems pretty doubtful.)  However, I disagree that the Bible defines living things as those that breathe air through their nostrils.  I think a stronger case could be made for mobility, and even THAT is not offered as an exclusive definition.  --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 10:12, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
