Molecules make up physical elements that exist in this physical world.
The next world is a spiritual world made up of spiritual elements.

You said.. "The next world is a spiritual world made up of spiritual elements."You tell me and then we'll both know.
I figured for you to make that claim you would know.

Life is the way in which nature knows itself, controls parts of itself, and eventually, will be a way for nature to create itself too.

All I know is that they are not physical elements, but I have no way of knowing what a spiritual element is since I have not died and gone to the spiritual world. It is not a claim, it is a belief.

Do all living things have a spirit?

Yes, I believe they do.

Yes, that is what I believe. However, I believe that only humans have a soul.
The animal spirit is the power of all the senses, which is realized from the composition and mingling of elements.
The human spirit which distinguishes man from the animal is the rational soul. These two names—the human spirit and the rational soul—mean the same thing. The rational soul is what enables humans to understand the qualities and properties of all other forms of life and discover the realities of things in the world, think in the abstract, build and create things.

Animals too have brain and thinking. How do they differ from humans.
I am amazed by what you think of your dozen family members, The Cats. They will be so disappointed if they knew.

Animals cannot think complexly like humans and they cannot do things that humans can do like plan for the future. Animals are not aware of other forms of life as humans are. They simply live within their own animal domain.
I don't think of my cats as less than humans, just differrent from humans. In many ways they are better because thye don't lie and they are not mean and hateful like some humans are. They are always loving and kind.
They don't know what I am thinking since they don't have the ability to understand human thought. No, I only have 8, not 12 cats.

Yeah, cats do not lie - humans do. They are not mean and hateful, They are always loving and kind (except when it comes to their food).
Don't know why God had to create a creature like humans, a creature in his own image?!

Moral and psychic confusion is the price we pay for our elevated intellect, and powers of reason. The true cost of eating the apple

This statement harkens back to evolution as an analogy for a version of creationism. The idea that a supreme omnipotent being uses science as a means of expression.

Molecules are reducible to atoms, and atoms to fundamental particles. When fundamental particles are examined, it’s almost as if there’s nothing there at all; that only the correlations of them are real.
Before there were molecules there were clouds of hydrogen and helium atoms. Before there were atoms, there was a hot soup of particles. Before that, there is as yet no consensus in either science or philosophy, even as to whether there was a ‘before that’..
