god told eve that if she ate from the tree of knowledge she would die that very same day.
in response to that statement the devil told her she would not die.. eve ate from the tree and did not die.
Halcon:
Spirit is what animates the physical elements (carbon, hydrogen etc) into a living human body.
Also, for the record, I’m not naive about the bait-and-switch in this distraction from the original vague intent of ‘spirit’ in the expression ‘mind, heart and spirit’.

Hehe...and what is behind cellular metabolism?
Chemistry.
Still waiting for any meaningful definition of ‘spirit’.

So, no. Saying what something does isn’t a definition of what it is.
What animates living cells is cellular metabolism, not ‘spirit’. The plural of cellular function isn’t ‘spirit’.

Halcon:
Does the materialist discard the mind, heart and spirit?
Let’s see if you can provide a meaningful definition of ‘spirit’. (And it would need to be something distinct from ‘heart’ and ‘mind’ in the given context.)

why do you talk about him so much if you don't even believe he exists?
It’s a public service to raise awareness of fallacious reasoning.
Why do you talk him so much when you have no evidence that he does exist?

How so?
Sigh. I thought the sidebar was unnecessary. Anyway… you referenced animal behaviour that is not present in the story and then when there was a factual objection to the misleading generalisations about animal behaviour, you said it was outside the scope of the story.

Jeffro, in an online conversation, nuance is sometimes lost. I think our side-bar has come way off the rails.
You were inconsistent about the scope of discussion. It’s not a big deal.
It’s a human-centric origin story that attempts to explain the current human condition and our place in the universe. It has the same characters as other origin stories: A Creator, a Destroyer and a Preserver.
Yep.

FragrantAddendum:
seems to me if you think god is an enemy
Only in the sense that Darth Vader or Voldemort are ‘enemies’.
I hope your ‘friend’ isn’t too angry about you not capitalising his title though. I’ve heard he does nasty things when he’s angry. I’m sure he’ll get back to you in some completely verifiable way.
