The fatal blow to this theory came with the chemical synthesis of urea from non-living components, demonstrating that there is no difference between a chemical created in a test tube, and one from a living organism, and that no "life energy" is necessary to create biological substances, or even life. We can now synthesize most parts of cells, and synthetic biologists are working towards (and, depending on how strict your definitions are, have succeeded in) creating a living cell purely from synthesized components.

* The ''VideoGame/QuestForGlory'' series uses this as a plot point at times. It is implied that mana is basically Life Energy, and the death of a wizard causes a flare that can be perceived around the world (unless it is instead used to power a DyingCurse). Demons are known to feed on life energy, which is why they are trying to start a war in the third game.

It should be noted that somehow many spacecrafts' [[EverythingSensor Everything Detectors]] can scan for it, and yet somehow only pick up humans or things like humans. Bugs, rats and the vast trees of [[StargateCity Canada-in-the-Pegasus-Galaxy]] do not make the grade, so obviously life signs automatically imply sentience (or at least really-bigness).
