Abiogenesis or origin of life from non-life is, therefore, an impossibility. Scientists are totally wrong in equating life force with life form. Life in a living being is different from the body of inert matter but life, which is ethereal and metaphysical cannot exist independent of the living being. The scientific methods of sense perception and use of reasoning power of limited intellect cannot be of any avail in finding an answer to the age-old problem whether the egg came first or the chicken. The mystery about life and consciousness can be unravelled either at the point of conception of life or at the point of its departure from the physical body.
Life is something apart and biology is an independent science.
Driesch insisted that life itself is a non-material, metaphysical force that produced order and form. Life and consciousness provide individuality, separate identity and exclusive existence to a living being. Doctors, nurses and medical personnel who have witnessed death of patients at first hand say that nothing physical or chemical leaves the body at the point of death. Heart stops functioning, breathing fails, consciousness is irreparably lost and the physical body, which remains totally intact in terms of its physical, chemical and cell contents, is fit enough only to be buried or cremated because of progressive deterioration of its contents. The physical body is only the container to protect and preserve the inner contents of life and consciousness during the limited span of their stay in the body.
