You already know the answer to that, BilllyBob, so what's the point in asking?

Perhaps the nucleic acids of other life forms just different nucleotides or something (note: this is me totally talking out of my rear-end, I have no idea if that is feasible)? I mean, RNA uses one different nucleotide than DNA. Maybe, like bacteria, it is shaped differently, or uses a different number of strands? Maybe they are Vulcans, and use copper rather than carbon as the building block of life?
The happenstance that Earth mammals have 4 limbs, a backbone and a head does not mean that extraterrestrial organisms will. It is likely that they have body structures completely foreign and unrecognizable to us. If you ever visit their planet, don't expect to find a chair to sit in.
spirit= God-breathed part of man that is God-conscious; the real you.
soul= personality...will, intellect, emotions= self-conscious.
body= temporary tent for the real you= world conscious.
This comes from the Creator's revelation on the nature of man.
The alternative is evolution that reduces us to a hairless ape who lives and dies like an animal.

Re: Do you believe there is life on other planets?
If you're asking about my opinion of whether life exists on other planets, I think it's likely that there was/is/will be life throughout the universe. Until we run into some ET life forms we'll not have any data to make a reasonable guess as to how common life might be though... :think:

In humans, the "soul" is indistinguishable from the "mind". It appears to exist so long as the brain functions above a certain level. When the brain stops, it appears that so does the "mind" or "soul".
No one has produced empirically verifiable evidence of "ensoulment" in a human embryo and I am unaware of any empirically verifiable evidence that any part of a human continues to exist after brain death.
Perhaps other posters might know of some...
