Just to put a label on you then Bill S, it makes you a sort of vitalist
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VitalismVitalistic thinking has also been identified in the naive biological theories of children: Recent experimental results show that a majority of preschoolers tend to choose vitalistic explanations as most plausible. Vitalism, together with other forms of intermediate causality, constitute unique causal devices for naive biology as a core domain of thought.
Sorry just having fun with you
There is an interesting theory to add your idea which will interest you that "photons carry subjectivity or consciousness as a property".
For me the living organism is consuming chemicals and energy and those things are definitely under the normal laws of physics. I don't think there is anything in a living body that lies outside the domain of normal physics, or at least I have absolutely no evidence that such a thing exists.
My invisible pink aliens are looking attractive in comparison unless you can offer some evidence?
