Talk:Biological nature of human beings

I'm confused by this. How would one objectively study whether human beings have a non-physical part? If we do (and we do indeed), it's untestable through science, which can only deal with the physical. Also, what exactly are the alternatives to western biology"? I've never heard of alternative schools of biology, though their existence would not surprise me. DouglasA 19:02, 20 January 2010 (EST)
