If living beings are made of non-living matter, then why do we say that the environment is made of two components:
- 1) living world - animals, plants, bacteria etc &
2) non-living world - atmosphere, soil, water etc.
If life is material, then the classification such as living & non-living is not scientific. Classification means something dffferent among the classified groups. As we classify as living & non-living, then there MUST BE some difference between them. And if life is material, then there would be no difference.
If life is material, then biology is nothing more than a pure branch of physics & chemistry.
