Science is based on materialism. Materialism excludes the idea of a spirit.
Solutions to differential equations which model physical systems are of two types; geometric and probabilistic. Geometry and probability are incompatible with one another. The conclusion must be that the language base for physical theory needs to be changed.
This book, The Authority of Material vs. the Spirit along with the book A New Copernican Revolution, change the basis of the language to be used for physical description. The new language uses patterns of mathematics that fit into the context of differential equations and which subsequently allow for predictive and verifiable descriptions of material, life, mind, and the intent of the spirit, so that material is a proper subset of the spirit.
Letting the language of physical description be based on the spectral structures of metric spaces (discrete isometry subgroups) within a dimensional hierarchy of different signature metric spaces, so that both material and physical properties are associated directly to metric spaces, creates a new context in which to describe material, life, mind, and the creative intent of existence, ie The Spirit.
How did life form, and why did it form so quickly after the earth cooled? The evidence seems to point to life's existence within one million years after the earth cooled. These new ideas say that life is a natural part of the mathematical description of existence. That is, life is a property of the mathematical structure, within this new way to describe physical systems.
