Life was created one of two ways: either the material created the spiritual or the spiritual created the material.

Science is based on the flawed premise that the material created the spiritual. The whole platform of darwinist materialism is based on "things." Materialists only acknowledge life as an accumulation of physical "things." That's why they'd love nothing more than to be able to explain life by the things they can see. For 50 years these "things" were genes. But thanks to the Human Genome Project, they are realizing -- or at least some of them are -- that the culmination of our genes are not what makes us who we are. Yet, that hasn't stopped them from spending billions of hours in the past decades categorizing species, analyzing molecules, labeling all the shades and colors and trivial physical characteristics of animals and much more. Little do they know that it's the intrinsic properties that explain life. Life is not and will never be explained by looking at the physical. When an animal adapts to its environment, the first step is not an accidental change in a single structure, it's a wholistic phenomenon that begins with an intelligent "idea" or "sensation." Neither of these two can be scientifically measured -- thus materialists ignore them as if they don't exist.
