Modern Biology Rejects Vitalism / 'Purposeful Life Spirit:'

Some of my favorite quotes from this reference: "vitalism, the belief that special forces or spirits are involved in living organisms, has not been found to be necessary [...because] living things obey the laws of physics & chemistry [...] the science of biology builds from physical principles [p.006...vitalism] is not one of the accepted, major generalizations in biology [p.095]."
