What do you mean by "spark".
To me we exist as functioning organisms because.
a) we existed previously
b) the sum of factors contributing to keep us alive (our organs) is
able to overcome the external factors which would tend to kill us
(ie buildup of wastes, infections)
... and this is in the context of
c) a reality that has particular properties - including but not limited to
those described by (or modelled by?) classical, reletavistic,
and quantum physics
Self-awareness is another more complex issue entirely. Is that is what you mean by spark?
