 As I've already commented in several of the below posts, the definition of life should not exclude religious or philosophical definitions. The term "Life" can mean several things of which the scientific definition is one! What about emotions, memories and thoughts if seen not as various results of chemo-electric impulses or whatever? These views needs to be represented as well. At the moment, all of Wikipedia is being infested by way to narrowminded science-followers, who delete or exclude everything that has to do with non-scientific stuff. The greatest scientists have always been open-minded individuals, accepting that they don't know everything, and always ready to learn. Don't you think religious people, or people who see the mental world as a separate world, have the right to read about their views on Wikipedia?
