You may surf the internet until doomsday but no satisfactory search result will emerge regarding that which in general is called the 'Life Force': that mysterious essence which enlivens every living thing on the planet; and once life is extinct in flora or fauna there is no way for it to be brought back.
Every living thing from the smallest virus to the 100 ton blue whale and from the tiniest seed to the largest tree is vivified by the 'Life Force'.
Where it came from, when or why is not understood and yet the world now contains a googolplex of 'living' organisms. Science is nowhere near solving the puzzle of the workings of the energizing life force which gives life to our planet.
Let's offer up a challenge. Put all the scientists in the world together; tell them they can have whatever inert material they need and then ask them to make an acorn that contains life and which when planted in soil will grow into a mature oak and then produce seeds (acorns) which in turn will grow to maturity and begin producing acorns which...... you get the picture. Neither can a cut on a corpse be healed. Whether enlivening animal or vegetable the mysterious life force gives life to that which it inhabits and when it departs the organism will no longer function.
To Christians the answer is to be found in John's Gospel ch:1. which states “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning . Through Him all things were made, without Him nothing was made that was made that has been made. In Him was Life and that Life was the light of all mankind.” Jesus tell us that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and it is He and no other who gives life to all that is in the world and it is He who can take that life away.
Matthew 21: 18-22 records the example of Him who gave life to the date tree, taking that life away. Yet another example of His control over that which He created.
