I'll tell you one thing, I certainly won't have to look very far to find an
example of a profoundly anti-scientific statement made by someone who claims
not to believe in the soul or vitalism. It behaves like bread and wine but
really it's the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Yep vitalism just under the
surface.

It's so hard that not only don't we know the answer we don't even know the
question.
