God doesn't count as "Alive"? That doesn't sound right... --Fullmetajacket 16:58, 11 March 2007 (EDT)
- "Sound right" or not, I would argue that God, as a purely spiritual being, is not "alive" in the biological, scientific sense -- that is, he doesn't have a physical flesh-and-bone body, made of cells, DNA, and such (Mormons' God notwithstanding). Therefore, even within evolutionary theory, it can be argued that the original "spark" of life was initiated by God, but that would still fit the definition of abiogenesis. As to whether God is living (in a non-biological, supernatural sense) is another discussion entirely... <carefully avoiding turning this into a rant /> Pharos 15:54, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
