Sure, energy is kind of a ghostly thing, but there are some things which energy certainly is not. For example, saying that God is energy seems nonsensical to me. I would agree that all scientificly observable things have an 'energy' property that we can measure and/or define. At least I can't think of anything tangible that doesn't have energy.

Relativity theory, is but one way to express the percieved values of energy, and should be taken as such. Quantum mechanics has yet another spin (pun intended) on the properties of energy, and is as accurate , although in some ways contradictory to, relativity.

I'm not sure what you have in mind when you said that. What contadiction are you talking about?

It's been about 25 years since I read Fred Hoyle's "Black Cloud" so my memory may be a bit fuzzy, but as I recall the beings described aren't exactly pure "energy", but he did posit some interesting views on an alternative life form that more closely meets the original post than we do

Really? What kind of stuff were they made of? By now pretty much everybody has heard about the deep sea vent worms which demonstrate how life can be found in seemingly unlikely places and sustaining itself in a way very different that we are used to, but I have a hard time swallowing the idea of life made out of anything other than normal protons, electrons, and neutrons.
